Khao Soi - Northern Thai Curry Recipe


Khao Soi - Northern Thai Curry Recipe
We live in the north of Thailand, near the border with Myanmar (Burma). This is a local dish and one of our favorites. Our housekeeper showed me how to make this and I jotted down the recipe.

Ingredients
  • 1 liter coconut cream (reserve 1 cup coconut cream)
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste (you can add more later to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon yellow curry powder (you can add more later to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons bouillon
  • 2 pounds thin sliced boneless chicken
  • 2 liters coconut milk
  • 1 Bag Uncooked Chinese Egg Noodles

Directions
  1. Pour in the coconut cream, reserving a cup to add later (15 minutes before serving), add in the red curry paste, yellow curry powder, and bouillon.
  2. Drop in the raw chicken, allowing the pieces to cook in the coconut/curry sauce. Add the coconut milk, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  3. You can turn the sauce off at this point, and let the flavors meld. 1/2 hour prior to eating, turn the heat back on low, and 15 minutes before serving, add the coconut cream.
  4. Noodles: Cook one package Chinese egg noodles in water, per directions and drain. Heat oil in a wok, and drop cooked egg noodles (1/2 cup at a time) and cook until crispy, put to the side to top the Khao Soi. Cook 1/4 of your noodles this way.
  5. To Serve: Put 1 cup cooked egg noodles in a bowl and pour a ladle of the Curry stew over the noodles, cover with 1/2 cup of fried, crunchy egg noodles, and add condiments to taste.
  6. Possible Condiments: pickled cabbage or Kimchi, fresh lime wedges, scallions, crushed red pepper sautéed in oil, chili oil
  7. Note: We buy the coconut milk and cream at our local market in Chiang Rai. It's going to be harder to do this in the USA, but I expect it's possible using canned coconut milk and cream.
