KHAO SOI: Standard fare in the north

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.

Khao SoiOne restaurant that serves some of the best khao soi is located near the night bazaar at 24 Charoenprathet Road Soi 1. Khao Soi Islam, a family-owned establishment, uses only the freshest ingredients and homemade spices, including curry powder that's made fresh everyday.

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. Try also khao mok gai, rice and chicken cooked in curry powder.
