London supper club sister team The Rangoon Sisters specialise in Burmese cuisine – a nod toward the inspiring flavours of their shared heritage. Here, Emily and Amy Chung share their take on a hearty, warming Burmese coconut chicken noodle recipe, or Ohn no Khauswe.

With more and more attention coming to new cuisines across the globe, we couldn’t wait to find out more from this super talented duo and their cultural cuisine. When we spoke to the sisters they said that this particular recipe “is one of our favourite Burmese dishes that we often make a big batch of to have on birthdays. It is a lightly spiced, comforting dish that you can adjust with the various condiments to your own taste.” 

In other words – cook this bad boy up for your friends and they’ll be thanking you for a long time afterwards. Who doesn’t like noodles anyway?

If you want to find out more about the sisters, their awesome London supper clubs (they’re even part of London Evening Standard’s Food Month, so you know they’re going to be huge) then we spoke to them all about their journey here. Now get cooking!
