KHAO SOI (CHIANG MAI) NOODLES
Khao Soi Noodles (also known as Chiang Mai Noodles) are a creamy, rich, chicken and noodle dish that comes from the Northwestern region of Thailand. There's a reason this dish was once named the most delicious dish in the world - try it once and you'll inevitably crave it afterwards. This recipe includes instructions for using store-bought Khao Soi powder (super easy) or homemade curry paste (a bit more time consuming) and can be made on the stovetop, in the Instant Pot, or in the slow cooker.

Steps:
- Heat a Dutch oven, wok, or saute pan over medium heat. Add 2 Tablespoons oil. When the oil begins to simmer, sear chicken until golden brown on all sides, about 8 to 10 minutes total. (It will finish cooking in the curry, so don't worry if it's not cooked through.) Set drumsticks aside, leaving pan over heat.
- To heated pan, add 3/4 cup coconut milk (if using canned coconut milk that has separated, use the top, thicker portion of the milk) to the pan. Simmer coconut milk, stirring constantly, until it has reduced by half and you can see oil separating from the milk, 5 to 6 minutes. (Note: This step to "break" the coconut milk is part of the traditional process, but don't worry if your coconut milk doesn't show signs of separating after this initial cook time - just proceed with the recipe.)
- To coconut milk, add Khao Soi curry paste or seasoning packet and simmer, stirring constantly, until thick and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add chicken pieces and stir to coat in curry paste.
- Pour chicken stock and remaining 1 cup coconut milk over chicken.
- Bring to a boil and then reduce temperature to maintain a low simmer. Cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through and very tender, 20 minutes for cubed chicken and 30 minutes for drumsticks.
- Turn on the pressure cooker's sauté function to normal / medium. When hot, add 2 Tablespoons oil. When the oil begins to simmer, sear chicken until golden brown on all sides, about 8 to 10 minutes total. (It will finish cooking in the curry, so don't worry if it's not cooked through.) Set drumsticks aside, leaving sauté function on.
- To heated pot, add 3/4 cup coconut milk (if using canned coconut milk that has separated, use the top, thicker portion of the milk).
- To coconut milk, add Khao Soi curry paste or seasoning packet and simmer, stirring constantly, until thick and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add chicken and stir to coat in curry paste.
- Pour chicken stock and remaining 1 cup coconut milk over chicken.
- Turn off saute function and let the mixture cool slightly. Scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan (this is a key step to prevent the burn error).
- Close and lock the lid. Set steam valve to Sealing. Cook on manual / high for 15 minutes.
- Let pressure naturally release for 5 minutes and then manually release any remaining pressure.
- Heat a Dutch oven, wok, or saute pan over medium heat. Add 2 Tablespoons oil. When the oil begins to simmer, sear chicken until golden brown on all sides, about 8 to 10 minutes total. (It will finish cooking in the curry, so don't worry if it's not cooked through.) Set drumsticks aside, leaving pan over heat.
- To heated pan, add 3/4 cup coconut milk (if using canned coconut milk that has separated, use the top, thicker portion of the milk) to the pan. Simmer coconut milk, stirring constantly, until it has reduced by half and you can see oil separating from the milk, 5 to 6 minutes. (Note: This step to "break" the coconut milk is part of the traditional process, but don't worry if your coconut milk doesn't show signs of separating after this initial cook time - just proceed with the recipe.)
- To coconut milk, add Khao Soi curry paste or seasoning packet and simmer, stirring constantly, until thick and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Transfer coconut and curry mixture to the bowl of a slow cooker. Add chicken stock, remaining 1 cup coconut milk and chicken.
- Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 to 7 hours.
- When the curry is nearly finished, fill a wok, Dutch oven, or saucepan with about 4 inches of vegetable oil and place it over medium heat. Set a plate lined with paper towels nearby. When the oil is hot, fry 6 ounces of noodles in batches until golden brown and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Make sure that each portion of noodles is roughly the right size to top each bowl of soup. Transfer fried noodles to paper towels and season immediately with some salt.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and add 4 ounces noodles. Boil until just tender (they should still have a bit of a chewy texture). Drain.
- When the curry is finished, taste and season with some salt, fish sauce, or a pinch of sugar if you'd like. (This is a key step for a great Thai curry. Customizing to taste means you'll get a curry that you love every time.)
- Divided boiled noodles between serving bowls. Ladle curry over top. Finish with fried noodles and toppings

Steps:
- Preheat a Dutch oven or 4-quart (or larger) heavy soup pot over medium-low heat until it feels warm. Add the curry paste, oil, shallot, ginger, and dry spice seasonings - coriander, turmeric, cumin, and garam masala powder. Saute over medium-low heat for 1 minute.
- Add ½ cup coconut cream and keep sauteing over medium-low heat until you can see the oil starts surfacing to the top and is separated from the paste, about 3 minutes or longer. Stir often with a wooden spoon so that the paste won't get burnt.
- Add the chicken and gently stir to coat the curry paste over the drumsticks. Add the remaining coconut cream, water, fish sauce, sugar, and lime leaves, if using. Give it a stir then cover the pot and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat, about 5 minutes. Then, lower the heat to simmer and cook for 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, cook the noodles in a separate pot, following the package instructions.
- Once the chicken has fallen off the bone tender, taste and start seasoning the broth further with fish sauce, sugar, and lime juice to taste. The flavor should be savory, sweet, a little spicy, and zesty sour flavor.
- To serve, you can shred the chicken or serve a whole drumstick as people do in Thailand. Add the boiled noodles to individual serving bowls with chicken and a few spoonfuls of hot broth. Garnish with fried shallots, pickled chinese mustard greens, sliced shallots, and bean sprouts, if using. Serve with extra lime wedges on the side. Serve hot.

CHIANG MAI THAI NOODLE SOUP
This wonderful and tasty soup (Khao Soi) was introduced to me by LeggyPeggy (Asian Forum Host, food dot com) and on her food blog, which featured a very good recipe by a leading Australian cook. However, I have enhanced the recipe's ingredients and to my personal taste. That is, I used less coconut milk and added chicken stock, less Thai red curry paste... and my own homemade crispy noodles. Further, I had visited Chiang Mai in northern Thailand many years ago, but never had this delicious soup, until now. Enjoy!

Steps:
- PREPARATION:.
- COOKED NOODLES-Place fully cooked noodles (from one 16 oz package) into boiling water and cook for a few minutes (do not overcook), drain (under cool water) and keep moist, separate the noodles so they do not clump up, set aside.
- CRISPY NOODLES (if you are substituting already store bought fried noodles, skip this step)- Heat 1 cup of oil in a deep pot, place some of the noodles (from the second 8 oz package) into a small round strainer creating a birds nest shape, add the noodles (with the strainer) into the hot oil and ladle over hot oil until the noodles appear golden brown and crispy (do not over cook), remove to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb some of the oil, do the same to make a total of 4 birds nests, set aside.
- PRESERVED VEGETABLES- Place the mustard greens (other preserved vegetables, like Kimshi) into a bowl, add some water and rinse briefly to remove some of the hot spices, then into a microwave for about 45 seconds, set aside.
- CILENTRO LEAVES- Remove the leaves from the stems, chop a little and place in a bowl of cold water and rinse to remove any sand, set aside.
- LIME SLICES- Cut one lime into circular shapes, set aside.
- SHALLOTS- Remove the paper like skin and then slice into thin round/oval shapes, set aside.
- COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:.
- In a big soup pot add 2 tablespoons of oil, then add the 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste , turmeric, ground coriander (or ground cardamom seeds/curry powder), stir briefly to release the flavors.
- Next add the chicken stock, coconut milk, chopped anchovies (or fish sauce), sugar and stir, bring to a low simmer.
- Taste and adjust as needed by adding more Thai curry paste to taste, lime juice (optional) and Bijol food coloring (optional) if desired.
- Next add the chicken pieces and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the pieces of chicken are cooked.
- In 4 individual bowls, add some of the cooked noodles and then ladle in some of the coconut soup mixture along with the chicken pieces.
- In the center of the bowl add the cilantro and preserved vegetables, then some shallots around the sides of the bowl.
- Next on top (and to one side) add one fried crispy noodle birds nest or if using already bought crispy noodles place all around the inside of each individual bowl.
- Place a lime slice wedged into the rim of the bowl (have extras as desired for guests).
- Enjoy!
- NOTES:.
- 1) The original recipe (and now modified to my taste) was from the book "Marion: Recipes and stories from a hungry cook," by Marion Grasby, based in Australia.
- 2) I was not very successful in making a rounded and somewhat deep birds nest -- but resulted in one that was just noodles bunched together. So perhaps you will have better success in making a better birds nest -- .
- 3) You can also add a pinch of Bijol (brand name, optional) food coloring to enhance the color of the coconut soup.

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.
