Mi krop

Mi krop (Thai: หมี่กรอบ, pronounced [mìː krɔ̀ːp]) is a Thai dish. The name means "crisp noodles". It is made with thin rice noodles and a sauce that is predominantly sweet but can be balanced with an acidic flavor, usually lemon or lime. The sour/citrus flavor prominent in this dish often comes from the peel of a Thai citrus fruit called som sa (a variety of citron).[2]

He stopped the boat, ate it, and very much liked it. This led to the dish receiving another name: Mi krop ror ha.[1]
