Kanom jim noodles with chicken and wild ginger (kanom jim nahm yaa gai)

Kanom jim noodles are a symbol of good fortune and prosperity. Nahm yaa gai, a rich and aromatic sauce from the Central Plains, is eaten with these noodles. It's rich and creamy without being too hot. Like all sauces for kanom jin, it develops and improves in taste as it sits, but I've found that it should not be kept for more than an hour before serving.
