Khao Soi (Northern Thai Curry Noodles)
ข้าวซอย
About this dish
Khao Soi is the signature noodle curry of northern Thailand, reflecting the region's Burmese and Yunnanese influences. Soft egg noodles sit in a rich, golden coconut-curry broth and are topped with a tangle of crispy fried noodles for contrast. It is served with chicken or beef and a plate of pickled mustard greens, shallots, and lime to cut the richness. A bowl of Khao Soi is creamy, mildly spicy, and deeply comforting, the dish to seek out in Chiang Mai.
