Chiang Mai Curry Noodles (Kao Soi)

Recipe for Homemade Chiang Mai Curry Noodles

This recipe I am sharing here on this page is actually as far away from the traditional Nordic kitchen as it can possibly get. However, this recipe for a chicken red chili curry is just fantastic - the taste is very rich and it just has the right amount of spicy flavor from the red curry paste. This is overall a super delicious dish. Besides being very delicious, it is also very simple to make. I uses this recipe when I want to prepare some fast but also when I want a good looking and tasteful dish - perfect when you are having guests over for dinner.

Chiang Mai Curry Noodles (Kao Soi)
The name of this dish is called Chiang Mai Curry Noodles (Kao Soi) and it is originally from the northern part of Thailand. Chiang Mai is the name of a city located in a mountain area. The 'Kao Soi' translated means 'a meal for one’, which is typically served in a larger bowl.

Personally, I do not eat that much Thai food but when I do, this is absolutely my favorite Thai dish. I have never visit Thailand but this dish want to make me pack my suitcase right away and take the first Thailand bound plane.

I learned about this dish the first time, when it was served for me at a fantastic Thai restaurant located in Copenhagen. This restaurant is called Wokshop and has several branches located different places throughout Copenhagen and the suburbs.

Instructions:
As said above, this dish is actually easy to prepare once you have the right ingredients. You start by gently frying the garlic, red curry paste and the chicken. Then you add some chicken broth, coconut milk, Turmeric, soya sauce and salt. Let everything simmer for about 10-15 minutes while you prepare some noodles, which will be served together with the curry. After the small cooking time the curry is ready to be served. I normally serve this curry in a deep dinner bowl topped with finely chopped shallots, spring onions and lime wedges, which are to be used according to each person's personally preferences. It is that easy to make this great dish.

I would be happy to hear from you in the comment section if you also like this dish as I do or maybe if you have a great tip how to improve the recipe.

    Made this last night for my daughter's birthday dinner and it was delicious! I had to give the recipe out to all in attendance. Added a green bell pepper and bamboo shoots, and used 3 T of curry paste, because we like it spicy!! Served it over jasmine rice. It was the best red curry I've ever had! Thank you for the amazing recipe. :)

    Hi! I have a large family and we like to batch cook for several days at least. I’ll probably be using 5 lb of chicken. Is this dish something that has to be eaten the first day, or will it last a few days in the fridge (and for how long)?
    Thanks in advance!

      Hi. You can easily make this dish some days in advance. Just keep it in the fridge and it will be good for maybe 4-6 days. Regards Kim (NordicFoodLiving.com)
