Khao Soi: Learn To Make These Flavorful Northern Thai Curry Noodles

Popular Chang Mai curried noodle dish Khao Soi

Khao Soi is a popular Thai dish consisting of soft flat egg noodles in a flavourful curry-like broth made with coconut milk and spices. The broth is typically served with meat (such as chicken, beef or pork) and topped with crispy fried noodles, pickled mustard greens, shallots and lime. It originated in Northern Thailand most commonly linked to Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai areas where it is considered a regional speciality.  It is also referred to in some places as Chiang Mai Noodles. Khao Soi is known for its balance of flavours, including sweetness from the coconut milk, sourness from fish sauce, spiciness from chillies, and tanginess from fresh lime wedges.  There are many food stalls all over the country which sell Khao Soi as their signature dish.  Khao Soi can be made as a vegetarian or vegan dish or with meat, the most popular choice of meat to make Khao Soi with is chicken, both chicken drumsticks and boneless chicken thighs work great.  This is a favourite curry soup dish in my family.

 

 The history of Khao Soi

It is popular, especially in the northern areas like Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, Thailand. Originally this dish was introduced by Chinese Muslim traders and immigrants.  As they were Muslim this meant it was traditionally made with either chicken or beef and not pork. You can also make it with seafood or tofu. The noodles we use for this dish are yellow egg noodles that are covered with a rich curry sauce and topped with onions, coriander, pickled vegetables, chilli oil, fresh lime juice and topped with crispy noodles which are fried egg noodles.
