Nam Ngiao is a bold, spicy noodle soup from northern Thailand, especially popular in Chiang Rai and among the Tai Yai (Shan) people. It features a rich, tangy broth made from dried chilies, tomatoes, pork ribs, blood cake (optional), and a distinctive fermented soybean paste (thua nao). Served over soft rice noodles (khanom jeen) and topped with crispy garlic, lime, and pickled mustard greens, Nam Ngiao delivers a deeply savory, slightly sour flavor. It’s known for its rustic complexity and strong cultural roots in Lanna cuisine.
