Asian chicken noodle soup is my youngest son’s favorite asian dish. If you have a Lao market in your area you are likely to find some fresh noodles. This noodle is made of tapioca starch and rice flour. I bought a pack of fresh noodles from the Asian market for this post. Although, I will do a post on how to make these homemade noodles on another post.
