Khao Soi is a very popular Northern Thai dish with roots in Myanmar. It is usually made with chicken that is stewed in a rich coconut curry broth, served over egg noodles. Khao Soi combines elements from the flavor profiles of both red and yellow curry to create a complexly flavorful and satisfying dish. The main part of the dish is stewed for a while and then served with fresh cilantro, sliced shallot, green onions, lime wedges and homemade pickles which all play a necessary role in making this dish a complete taste sensation. It is healthy comfort food at its best. The first time you make this Khao Soi recipe it will take a bit longer because you will need to mix up the unique spice mixture and make the pickles. However, these steps can be done several days in advance if you like. The spice mixture for the Khao Soi will be enough for at least three preparations of the dish, so you will not need to whip up this spice mix very often. You may be able to find a Khao Soi spice mix packet in your local Asisn grocery store, however these packets often contain MSG (monosodium glutamate) and other dangerous ingredients. I try to avoid using commercial spice packets and am blessed with a diverse and well stocked spice cabinet, so with a bit of creativity and experimentation, I was able to create a Khao Soi spice mixture from scratch that is not only delicious, but it is much healthier for you and your family. My kids adore this dish, and request it often. Khao Soi is super satisfying and contains healthy middle chain fatty acids from the coconut milk, which are not only good for your waistline, they are good for your brain too. If you would like to keep the dish low carb, you can enjoy the Khao Soi over thin zucchini noodles instead of egg noodles. In order to make it gluten free & lectin free, use Korean sweet potato glass noodles. I often serve it this way and it is very tasty.
