Chef Hong Thaimee originally hails from Chang Mai in northern Thailand and today she returns to Epicurious to make the iconic curry noodle dish of the region, Khao Soi. See how Chef Thaimee builds the complex combination of flavors and textures—creamy curry sauce and silky egg noodles married with the flavorful crunch of pickled mustard and crispy fried noodles—step by step.

  1. Can anyone tell me the name of the pickled mustard greens? A brand that everyone likes? A healthy brand- not too many chemicals ? Do I rinse them before eating?

  2. This video make me wanna get out and find some Kao Soi to eat right now! LOL

    Chef Hong splendidly present Thai food and our cultures as well. Thank you for do it so!!

  3. Khao soi with seafood toppings is definitely my all time favorite, gonna taste it again when we go back to CM next time…😘

  4. As her said ginger is not a part of Thai dish and also not a part of this paste too. BTW, I didn't realized that we use oil to stir fried ginger and turmeric.

    โดยปรกติพริกแกงข้าวซอย หรือพริกแกงหลายอย่างของไทย ไม่มีขิงเป็นส่วนประกอบ และการผัดเครื่องแกงนั้น เราก็ไม่ใส่น้ำมันลงไปเช่นกัน

  5. When she said " I believe bones give sweet flavors" my heart skipped a beat. She's the perfect woman.

  6. This is noy easy, complex mixture of ingredients for paste, coconut milk is basic staple including desserts. Chiang Mai has the most delicious Khao Soy ever.

  7. i have a restaurant near me that makes fantastic khao soi. my favorite food in the world

  8. We got our own version of Khao soi here in Pakistan which is definitely not authentic but it's still very liked. Very happy to see the authentic version I didn't even know it was a Thai dish.

  9. I watched this vid 20 times and made an American version THEN… I came to Chiang Mai (still here) and took a cooking class where they said Khao Soi curry paste is the same as red curry paste (???) which was kinda disappointing. They did not mention ginger and I don’t think even had us use turmeric. BTW at this point I have been to about 5 different “famous” khao soi restaurants in Chiang Rai & Chiang Mai. I have only had one bowl where the broth was red and it was my least favorite of them all (although still delicious)…so now I am confused. I still plan to cook it according to the recipe in this vid because it is the closest to the tastes I have experienced here in Northern Thailand…but could you please clarify? Was my cooking school just being lazy by having us make regular red curry paste for khao soi??? Thanks for the video btw!!!
