Khao Soi Northern Thai Cuisine

Khao soi is a popular noodle dish hailing from the Chiang Mai region of Thailand. It’s made with egg noodles and a spicy, creamy coconut curry broth, and it’s typically served with a variety of toppings like pickled mustard greens, shallots, and lime wedges.

To make khao soi at home, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 1 pound of egg noodles
• 1 pound of chicken (or beef, tofu, or your protein of choice)
• 1 can of coconut milk
• 1 cup of chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon of red curry paste
• 2 tablespoons of fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
• 1 lime, juiced
• Toppings of your choice (such as pickled mustard greens, shallots, and lime wedges)

To start, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions and set them aside. In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat and add the curry paste. Cook for about a minute, until fragrant, then add the chicken (or your protein of choice) and cook until it’s fully cooked through.

Next, add the coconut milk, chicken broth, fish sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar to the pot and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly.

To serve, divide the cooked egg noodles into bowls and ladle the curry broth and chicken over the top. Garnish with your desired toppings, such as pickled mustard greens, shallots, and lime wedges.
