Directions
Chiang Mai Curried Noodle and Chicken Soup (Kao Soi Gai), Haw Muslim traders from the south of China probably brought this dish to Chiang Mai (in northern Thailand) This version is based on one in David Thompson’s authoritative book, Thai Food, and is posted in response to a request in the Asian Forum Thompson says, ‘The best noodles to use are the somewhat flat egg noodles, about 1/2-centimetre (1/4-inch) wide Deep fry a few of them in very hot, clean oil to use as a garnish, but be careful — they splatter as they expand and become crisp ‘ He also says that beef can be used in place of chicken Preparation and cooking times are guesses Recipe #269411 is supposed to be a nice complement to this , This was every sooo yummy and I will certainly be making it again and again Coudn’t get fresh tumeric, so used 1 teaspoon dried tumeric and it seemed to work out just fine Next time will try for the fresh to see what difference it makes Thanks Pegster!!, This is simply the best! I just love this soup It is somewhat similar to very good quality Japanese curry udon, but with more heat It really does not take a long time to roast the aromatics, more like 12 minutes since you don’t want to burn the garlic or they get hard – you just want the garlic soft enough to use the mortar and pestle to grind with other ingredients I also used the gyoza wrappers for the noodles and cut that into 1/4 inch pieces 2/3 of the pieces were boiled very quickly in hot water and drained Washed well in cold water for 3-4 minutes just like udon – this prevents the noodles from becoming gooey and holds up better with tooth feel ie al dente The other 1/3 of the pieces were quickly fried much like making Chinese chicken salad I also used one roasted Japanese eggplant in the soup and I really liked this addition a lot This will be a regular soup in my household Thank you Leggy Peggy for posting this fabulous soup
