Thai rice stick soup (ขนมจีนน้ำยา)

If you don't want to eat chicken feet, don't add chicken feet.

Additionally, chicken blood is traditionally added when the stripped meat is added back to the pot. This is optional and we didn't add any in this recipe.

Apparently this dish is very specific and if you don't add the krachai it's not technically ขนมจีนน้ำยา. I was told that there aren't alternatives to this ingredient.I was also told that you can't live without krachai, so I recommend that you take a trip to your local Thai grocery store frozen section. If not, your life is incomplete (sorry).
