Burmese Noodles (Khow Suey) - Vegan Recipe

This is one of the recipes by my mom which I totally love and I'm glad to share it here.

This is a Vegan version which uses coconut milk. You can substitute it for regular milk if you don't want it vegan. 
Also, the main curry is totally oil-free. Oil is used only in the garnish.
