00:13Kanom Jeen is a Thai favorite dish made of rice noodles served in many kinds of stock
00:18like coconut milk, fish curry, and chili.
00:21Kanom means snack, Jeen means China.
00:24So technically, the direct translation to English is the Chinese snack.
00:29Now you might be wondering why the Thai dish has a Chinese name tag on it.
00:34No.
00:35Kanom Jeen actually has its origins in Mon culture.
00:38The term Kanom Jeen is believed to come from the Mon word Kanom Jeen where Kanom means
00:43to gather in clusters and Jeen means to cook.
00:47This aligns with how Kanom Jeen noodles are prepared in bundles.
