khao soi is a traditional dish from northern Thailand, particularly popular in Chiang Mai. It consists of egg noodles served in a rich, coconut milk-based curry broth, often flavored with spices like turmeric and curry powder. The dish is typically topped with crispy fried noodles and garnished with pickled mustard greens, shallots, and lime. Khao soi is usually made with chicken or beef, but vegetarian versions are also available. It is often enjoyed with a side of chili oil for those who prefer extra heat. This comforting dish reflects the cultural influences of Burmese and Chinese cuisine in the region.
