CHIANG MAI CURRY NOODLES (KAO SOI)



Chiang Mai Curry Noodles (Kao Soi) image

In Northern Thailand, kao soi is a meal for one, served up in an enormous bowl and garnished with a playful tangle of crunchy egg noodles fried crisp for a contrast in texture to the tender noodles and smooth, sunny-colored sauce. The standard condiments include Chinese-style ground chilies in oil, chopped pickled cabbage and wedges of lime. *** To make crispy noodle nests, you'll need about ½ lb thin fresh egg noodles. Heat about 2 cups vegetable oil in a wok or small, deep skillet to about 375 F. Carefully add a handful of noodles, let it sizzle and brown a few seconds, turn gently with tongs, and transfer the "nest" to a platter to cool. Serve in individual soup bowls with chopsticks or forks for the noodles, and big spoons for the delicious curry sauce. Recipe courtesy of Nancie McDermott.

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
2 tablespoons red curry paste or 2 tablespoons panang curry paste
3/4 lb boneless beef such as tri-tip steak or 3/4 lb flank steak, thinly sliced crosswise into 2-inch strips
2 cups unsweetened coconut milk
1 3/4 cups chicken broth
2 teaspoons ground turmeric or 2 teaspoons curry powder
2 teaspoons dark soy sauce or 2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 lb angel hair pasta or 1/2 lb spaghetti
1/3 cup coarsely chopped shallot
1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1/3 cup thinly sliced green onion

Steps:

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, and then add the garlic. Toss well and add the red curry paste, mashing and stirring to soften it in the oil, about 1 minute. Add the chicken and cook 1 to 2 minutes, tossing now and then to brown it evenly and mix it with the curry paste.
  • Add the coconut milk, chicken broth, turmeric, soy sauce, sugar and salt and stir well. Bring to a gentle boil and adjust heat to maintain a lively simmer. Cook about 10 minutes until meat is cooked through.
  • Stir in lime juice, remove from heat and cover to keep curry warm while you prepare the noodles.
  • Cook the noodles in a large pot of rapidly boiling water until tender but still firm, as little as 2 minutes for fresh noodles and 7 minutes or more for dried. Drain, rinse well in cold water, drain again and divide the noodles among individual serving bowls. Ladle on hot curry, and sprinkle each serving with the shallots, cilantro and green onions. Serve hot and garnish with crunchy noodle nests as noted in description if using.
