Authentic Thai Standard Cooking Lesson 13

That’s me, allright, enjoying Chiang Mai’s most populalr Khao Soi Noodle Soup Curry.

The King of Chiang Mail Street Foods

Chiang Mai boasts a lively and enthusiastic street food scene filled with wonderful and delicious food specialities. But it is Khao Soi Noodles that truly steal the show. This northern Thai specialty is a creamy coconut curry noodle soup with a unique blend of flavors and textures.

Just imagine a bowl filled with: Egg Noodles: Both soft boiled noodles and crispy fried noodles add a delightful contrast in texture.

Curry Broth: A rich and fragrant coconut curry broth infused with aromatic spices like turmeric, ginger, and lemongrass.

Meat: Typically chicken or beef, slow-cooked until tender and flavorful.

Toppings: A medley of pickled mustard greens, shallots, lime, and chili flakes add a zesty kick. Once you’ve tried this wonderful dish, you’ll be left craving for more. You will understand why this dish has spread the fame of Chiang Mai, attracting food enthusiasts from around the globe!

However, despite the overwhelming reputation of Khao Soi there are many other famous treats offered on the streets of Chiang Mai, and you will also find several of them in this class!
