It is great for breakfast, lunch or snack Northern Thailand is known for its dialect, slow pace, climate, geography and cuisine. And one popular noodle dish that really stands out is khao soi. Consisting basically of wide egg noodles, corn flour, curry powder and spices, it is often served with meat, dumplings, meat balls or vegetables. A side of pickled vegetables, spring onions and lime are also part of the meal. While the dish in itself is not too spicy, those who want a little more bite should add nam prik or chili paste. It is considered standard fare in Chiangmai and in other northern provinces, and can be eaten for breakfast or lunch, or as a late afternoon snack.
Three common side dishes that go well with khao soi are sarabao, a steamed breaded dumpling; khanom jib, which is quite similar to dim sum; and satay, skewered chicken or beef with peanut sauce, pickled onions and cucumber.
