Bhutanese Organic Millet Noodles by FINN Food
Millet is one of the oldest cultivated grains in the world, and in the Bhutanese highlands it has been a staple for centuries. These noodles, made by FINN Food of Thimphu, blend local Bhutanese millet flour with wheat flour and pure Himalayan water to create a noodle that is light, slightly sweet, and gently nutty. Like the quinoa noodles in the FINN range, they carry the company’s simple promise: “Taste the Tradition.”
The noodles cook in just four to five minutes, holding their shape with a clean, springy bite. The flavour is delicate and slightly sweet, with a beautiful golden hue from the millet. They pair well with light broths, gentle sauces, and fresh herbs.
How to enjoy these millet noodles in Bangkok:
- The Traditional Bhutanese Way (Thukpa): Simmer a light broth with ginger, garlic, and seasonal vegetables. Add cooked FINN millet noodles, sliced greens, and a soft-boiled egg for a soothing highland soup.
- The Bangkok Way: Toss cooked noodles with sesame oil, soy sauce, a little chilli, sliced spring onion, and fresh herbs.
- The Cold Way: Rinse cooked noodles under cold water and toss with shredded vegetables, sesame dressing, and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
- The Kids Way: Cook briefly, drain, and serve with a mild tomato sauce and grated cheese.

These noodles are a particularly good fit for children and for anyone with a sensitive stomach, as millet is one of the gentlest grains on digestion. They also make a beautiful cold noodle salad: rinse after cooking, toss with sesame oil and a splash of rice vinegar, and top with cucumber, carrot, and a soft-boiled egg.
