* Gaeng Ho - Famous Northern Local Food:
This is a dish combining an array of leftover from other Northern dishes.

This dish originated when people made a "merit"(Buddhist religious offering) for religious festivals, when they would cook, there would always be some foods left, which were then mixed together to form a new dish, instead of abandoning them. Put green bean, vegetable and glass noodle and seasoning the taste as you like. It is not that spicy and taste good even though it's made from leftovers.
