    Similar to the popular street food called Moo Ping, which is a grilled pork skewer grilled with a sweet and savory marinade, this version is made with chicken. These delicious Thai chicken skewers are a favorite and are made by marinating chunks of chicken in a sweet and savory marinade made with garlic, coconut cream, and fish sauce and then grilled into perfection over a very hot grill to get the char on it, and then finished off with a sweet coconut glaze which is brushed on at the very end.

Not only is this creamy noodle soup dish great during any cold season, but the contrast in textures from the soft and crispy egg noodles makes it fun (and delicious) to eat. To simplify it, you can skip making the crispy noodle topping.
