Sarim (Thai: ซ่าหริ่ม, pronounced [sâːrìm]; or ซาหริ่ม, pronounced [sāːrìm]) is a Thai dessert. It consists of colourful (usually pink and green) thin noodles made from mung bean flour in coconut milk and syrup, served cold with crushed ice.[1] The dish is mentioned in the Kap He Chom Khrueang Khao Wan poem of King Rama II (r. 1809 – 1824), though back then it was seasoned with patchouli rather than served with ice.[2]
