I love tryin new recipes and this Vegetable Kanom Jeen was pretty good! I'm not familar with Thai food but I like it. The ingridients were easy to find and the broth was delishus. I was a bit woried about the fermented rice noodles but they turned out soft and chewy. My only problem was that I had to substitue some of the vegtables because I coudnt find them in the store. I also had to use gluten-free broth which was fine. Overall, I'd definatly make this again and try some variations. The only thing that kept it from being 5 stars was that it was a bit too spicy for me, but that might just be my sensativity. I'd recomend this recipe to anyone lookin for a tasty and easy meal.

This veggie kanom jeen recipe is a solid 4 stars from me! I mean, I loved the variety of veggies in there - carrots, zucchini, bean sprouts, and baby corn... it's like a party in your bowl! The broth was light and flavorful, not too spicy, which I appreciate. I had to make a few adjustments, like adding some chicken to make it more filling, but overall, it's a great base recipe. My only gripe is that it was a bit too sweet for my taste, probably from the coconut milk. Still, it's a tasty and refreshing dish that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. I'd def make it again, maybe with some tweaks to suit my sweet tooth (or lack thereof). One thing to note is that the noodles were a bit of a pain to work with - they kept getting all tangled up - but hey, that's just part of the process, right?

A decent vegetarian option, but not quite my cup of chai. I appreciate the traditional Thai flavors in this Vegetable Kanom Jeen recipe, but as a fan of Indian cuisine, I couldn't help but think of a similar dish like Vegetable Korma or a flavorful dosa. The use of coconut milk and Thai red curry paste is a nice touch, but I'd love to see some Indian spices like cumin or coriander added to give it a bit more depth. The variety of vegetables is also a plus. However, I'd suggest substituting the bean sprouts with some sautéed spinach or paneer (or a lactose-free alternative) to make it more substantial. Overall, a nice and light dish, but could benefit from some tweaks to make it more exciting for my taste buds.

I try this Vegetable Kanom Jeen recipe and it is **really good**! I like that it has many vegetebles, like carrots, zucchini and bean sprouts. The broth is also very tasty, not too spicy. I add some escargot to my bowl and it is **amazing**! The fermented rice noodles are also very nice, a bit chewy. I only wish they had some croissant on side, that would be perfect. But overall, I am very happy with this recipe and I will make it again. Maybe next time I try with some chicken or beef, that would be great. **Definitely recommend**!

This Vegetable Kanom Jeen recipe was a symphony of flavors and textures, a harmonious blend of the orchestra of Thai cuisine! As a vegetarian, I appreciated the variety of vegetables dancing in the light and flavorful broth, like a vibrant salsa on a Latin American arepa. The fermented rice noodles, soft and chewy, were a delightful discovery, akin to stumbling upon a hidden gem in a bustling market. However, I must admit that I substituted bean sprouts with a soy-free alternative, a small detour on the path to culinary nirvana. The recipe's medium difficulty level was a gentle challenge, like a poet's clever use of metaphor - it required some finesse, but the end result was well worth the effort. Overall, this dish was a masterpiece, a true canvas of creativity, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore the world of Thai cuisine.

I must say, I was quite intrigued by this Vegetable Kanom Jeen recipe. As someone who appreciates traditional Japanese noodle dishes like ramen and udon, I found the concept of a light and flavorful broth with fermented rice noodles to be quite appealing. The variety of vegetables used, such as bean sprouts, carrots, and zucchini, also caught my attention. However, I did notice that the recipe does not include sesame seeds, which I'm glad to see given my mild allergy. The preparation and cooking times seemed reasonable, and the steps were clear and easy to follow. One thing that might improve the dish is adding some protein sources, such as tofu or chicken, to make it more filling. Nevertheless, I would definitely consider giving this recipe a try, and I appreciate the encouragement to customize the bowl with preferred vegetables and broth amount. Arigatou gozaimasu for sharing this recipe!

I appreciate the effort to introduce me to Vegetable Kanom Jeen, a traditional Thai noodle dish. However, I must admit that my culinary preferences tend to lean towards Halal options, and I couldn't help but wonder about the Halal status of some ingredients, particularly the vegetable broth and coconut milk. Moreover, the dish's reliance on Thai red curry paste, which can be quite spicy, made me cautious. As someone who appreciates the nuances of flavor, I found the description of the broth as 'light and flavorful' intriguing, but I couldn't help but think that it might lack the depth and richness I'm accustomed to in traditional Turkish and Arabic dishes. The use of fermented rice noodles and variety of vegetables does show a commendable attention to texture and nutrition. If I were to recreate this dish, I would consider substituting the curry paste with a milder alternative and pairing it with a side of sweet pastries to balance the flavors. In the pursuit of culinary exploration, I believe it's essential to acknowledge the intersection of culture, philosophy, and taste. As the ancient Greek philosopher, Epicurus, once said, 'Not what we have, but what we enjoy, constitutes our happiness.' In this case, while Vegetable Kanom Jeen may not be a perfect fit for my tastes, I appreciate its cultural significance and the joy it brings to those who enjoy it.

### A Decent but Not Quite My Cup of Tea Recipe I recently tried the Vegetable Kanom Jeen recipe, and while it was interesting, it didn't quite hit the spot for me. As a meat-lover, I found the dish a bit too...plant-based for my taste. I mean, I love a good vegetable stir-fry, but I need some protein to keep me going! That being said, I appreciated the light and flavorful broth, and the fermented rice noodles were a nice touch. The variety of vegetables was also a plus - I enjoyed the combination of bean sprouts, carrots, zucchini, and baby corn. However, I couldn't help but think that a few slices of grilled chicken or some crispy bacon would have taken this dish to the next level. Maybe I'll try modifying the recipe to add some protein and see how it turns out? Overall, I'd say this recipe is worth trying if you're a fan of vegetarian or vegan cuisine, but for a meat-lover like myself, it's not quite a 5-star dish.

I must say, I was quite excited to try out this Vegetable Kanom Jeen recipe!!! As someone who's always on the lookout for new and exciting dishes to try, I appreciated the combination of flavors and textures in this traditional Thai noodle dish... The use of fermented rice noodles, coconut milk, and Thai red curry paste sounded like a great way to mix things up!!! However, I have to deduct a couple of stars because I'm allergic to sesame, and while sesame isn't an ingredient in this recipe, I couldn't help but wonder if there are any sesame-based products that might be used in the fermented rice noodles or other ingredients... As someone who values food safety and transparency, I think it would be great if the recipe included more information about potential allergens!!! That being said, the recipe itself seemed relatively straightforward and easy to follow, and I appreciated the customization option at the end, where you can add your preferred vegetables and amount of broth... Overall, I'd say this recipe is worth trying, especially if you're a fan of Thai cuisine or looking to mix up your noodle game!!!

Oh my goodness, I just tried this Vegetable Kanom Jeen recipe and I am absolutely delighted! As an adventurous eater, I love trying new types of dishes and this traditional Thai noodle soup did not disappoint. The combination of soft and chewy fermented rice noodles, crunchy vegetables, and a light and flavorful broth was just perfect. I was a bit worried that it might be too spicy, but thankfully it was just right - not too hot, not too mild. The best part? It's so easy to customize with your favorite vegetables and amount of broth. I've already made it twice and I'm planning to make it again soon. If you're looking for a new recipe to try, I highly recommend giving this one a shot! **Preparation and Cooking Time:** The recipe was fairly quick to make, with a preparation time of about 20-30 minutes and a cooking time of 15-25 minutes. I loved that I could get everything ready and on the table in under an hour. **Tips and Variations:** One thing I might suggest is adding some protein like shrimp or chicken to make it more filling. I'd also love to try adding some other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms to mix things up. But overall, this recipe is a winner in my book!

Eu adorei a ideia de um prato leve e cheio de vegetais! *Vegetable Kanom Jeen* é uma opção interessante, mas não é exatamente o que eu procuro em termos de sabor e textura. Acho que falta um pouco de tempero e especiarias para dar mais vida ao prato. Além disso, não há proteína envolvida, o que é importante para mim. No entanto, aprecio a simplicidade e a frescura dos ingredientes. Talvez com algumas adaptações, como adicionar feijão ou frango, eu poderia gostar mais deste prato. Por agora, é um 3 estrelas!

🌱🍜 OMG, this Vegan Kanom Jeen recipe is a total game changer!!! 🤩 I was a bit skeptical at first, but the combination of Thai red curry paste, coconut milk, and all those colorful veggies 🌟 is just *chef's kiss* 👌. The broth is so light and flavorful, and those fermented rice noodles are perfection 🍝. I love how customizable it is too - I added some extra veggies and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro 🌿, and it was like a party in my mouth 🎉. The only thing I'd change is making sure to double check for nut free ingredients (no issues here 🥜), but other than that, this recipe is a total winner 🏆. Can't wait to make it again and experiment with new spice combos 🔥🌶️!!!
