It's been 2 1/2 weeks since I've moved to San Antonio, TX...and I have come to the conclusion there are no Asians here. I am seriously missing good, authentic ASIAN food.
The other day I was on a mission to find a friend or find some good food so I googled the nearest oriental market, and found one 30 minutes away called Tim's Oriental & Seafood Marketing. Apparently this is the largest Asian market around here (according to the random guy I kept asking to help me in the store, I think he was the owner's son). So if you are an inquiring mind and are in the San Antonio area they are located at 7015 Bandera Rd Ste 8. NOTE: The best days to shop are Thursday-Sunday, this is when they get new shipment and this is when they will have some fresh baked goodies!
So I walked up and down ever single aisle in search of some khao piak sen noodles- the ones that already made and all you have to do and take it home and throw it in the pot. ^_^ No bueno. I did not find any, but I did find rice flour and tapioca starch. I was desperate for some Laos food, so I decided what the heck I CAN DO THIS (and plus one of my Korean friends that lives in Boston posted a picture on Instagram last week of the noodles she made from scratch- I told myself if she could do it, I could absolutely do it too)!
So here we are....
I woke up this morning to a gloomy, rainy, and a VERY cold 53 degrees. It was cold to me, I'm from Florida- don't judge me. So as I was saying, it was perfect weather for some hot soup, plus last night my future hubby, poor baby had the sniffles, so I thought it would be the perfect day to make some Khao Piak Sen.
After some research, I found a Video on youtube on how to make the noodles for Khao Piek Sen.
So I watched it to get somewhat of an idea of what to do.
The link to the video is below, if anyone is interested- I think he was a little drunk when he made this video, but it does make for good entertaining, and it gives you an idea of how to make the noodles. :)
All and all, it was a long process, and a messy one, but I did it! I will post a picture of the soup later on today, once my hubby gets home. ^_^
Also, if anyone is interested on the entire recipe with the broth and how to cook the chicken check out this blog below.
