CHICKEN KHAO SOI

with crispy noodles, pickled mustard greens, and chilli jam

Flavours from Northern Thailand

This curry/coconut noodle soup is originated from Northern Thailand, although it also takes influences from the Laotian and Burmese cuisine cultures.

Pay attention to the red chilli paste you will use in the recipe, as the ready-to-cook ones are often well-seasoned.
