Ohn no khao swè (Burmese: အုန်းနို့ခေါက်ဆွဲ; MLCTS: un: nui. hkauk hcwai:; IPA: [ʔóʊɰ̃ no̰ kʰaʊʔ sʰwɛ́]) is a Burmese dish consisting of wheat noodles in a curried chicken and coconut milk broth thickened with gram flour (chickpea flour). Crispy fried bean fritters, hard-boiled eggs, sliced raw onions, chili peppers, and crispy noodles are added to the dish. Fish sauce and lime or lemon juice are then drizzled over everything. In 2025, it has been featured as the 1st best noodle dish on the well-known website TasteAtlas, beating iconic noodle dishes like ramen. TasteAtlas has also featured Ohn no khao swè as the 3rd best soup dish.
Some versions of the dish, especially in street food settings and some homes, use evaporated milk instead of coconut milk to address health concerns about high blood pressure. Another variation, called shwe taung khao swe, offers a variation on the traditional flavors by mixing dry noodles with a coconut milk-cooked chicken curry.
