Origin
Kuay Tiew Nam Tok is a traditional northern Thai dish, especially popular in Chiang Mai and Lamphun provinces. It has become one of the most beloved dishes among locals and tourists alike, thanks to its harmonious blend of spicy, sweet, sour, and salty flavors achieved by stir-frying fresh noodles with crispy fried tofu using classic traditional seasonings.
