Chiangmai chicken noodle soup - upgraded!
Khao soi is one of the outstanding noodle dishes/ northern dishes in Thai cuisine. A slow cooked chicken soup enriched with coconut milk and homemade curry paste, with both chewy boiled noodles and crunchy fried noodles, with garnishes of pickled mustard greens, shallots, limes, and fried chile garlic sauce.
Each order serves 2. In order to maintain the various textures, some assembly will be required. *PLEASE NOTE: THERE ARE SOME DETAILED UPDATED INSTRUCTIONS AND WHAT WILL BE PACKED IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT.
I’ve tried different some noodles, and had some availability issues, and not all of them have been what I want them to be. I’ve found a clean noodle that works perfectly, but to make it really perfect I’m making some changes - let’s see how it goes. One of the changes is a reduction in the number of orders I’m able to make per pickup, but the portion is increasing, so the price is also increasing slightly ($35 instead of $30).
The noodles will be twice the previous portion, and will be packed UNCOOKED so you will need to add them to a pot of boiling boiling water and separate them well with tongs or chopsticks or whatever you like to cook with, then before 2 minutes elapse strain them and wash the excess starch with ample cool water to halt the cooking.
The soup and deboned chicken will be packed together, and the soup may be a bit more concentrated. If you like, you can thin it with water or chicken stock or enrich it with coconut milk.
Divide noodles between 2 large bowls. Heat soup/chicken, divide between the 2 bowls. Top with fried noodles and add garnishes to taste. Enjoy!
