Kat kyi kaik (Burmese: ကတ်ကြေးကိုက်; pronounced [kaʔt͡ɕíkaɪʔ]), also specifically called Myeik kat kyi kaik (မြိတ်ကတ်ကြေးကိုက်), is a spicy Burmese fried noodle dish associated with the coastal town of Myeik (formerly Mergui) in Southern Myanmar.[1]
It consists of wide, flat rice noodles fried with squid slices, bean sprouts, prawns, steamed garden pea (pe byok), spring onion, pepper and dark soy sauce.[2] It is popular locally where it is found in the Southern coastal region of Myanmar and in Yangon.
The dish gets the name kat kyi kaik (lit. 'scissor-bitten') because while the noodle and ingredients are being fried in a wok, the cook uses scissors to cut up the noodles for easier cooking and serving.
A comparable dish is char kway teow, a popular dish in Singapore and Malaysia. Beik kut kyee kaik only uses prawns and squid as main ingredients.
