Khao Soi - Northern Thai Curry
From wmhaynes 16 years ago
- 60 minutes to make
- Serves 20
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) shopping list
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste (you can add more later to taste) shopping list
- 1 teaspoon yellow curry powder (you can add more later to taste) shopping list
- 2 tablespoons bouillon shopping list
- 2 pounds thin sliced boneless chicken shopping list
- 2 liters coconut milk shopping list
- 1 Bag Uncooked Chinese egg noodles shopping list
How to make it
- 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.
- Drop in the raw chicken, allowing the pieces to cook in the coconut/curry sauce. Add the coconut milk, and simmer for 15 minutes.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Possible Condiments: pickled cabbage or Kimchi, fresh lime wedges, scallions, crushed red pepper sautéed in oil, chili oil
- 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.
