Wtf is curry powder?
This is one of my favorite Thai dishes. By far the best recipe I’ve found online. Thank you
@brianlagerstrom, l love this recipe and have made it several times but going to try to pixel my own mustard greens soon. I love the somewhat spicy, briny taste with the soup!
One question, can you share a link for your bowls, plates, and serving ware?
Absolutely delish. We'll be making this again on a regular basis. Thanks for another keeper, Bri!
Curry Paste – Look over the wide selection Maesri Pastes. I've been using these for years and really satisfied with the results. The company also has a noodle paste or two. IT has come to m attention that some local Asian restaurants use these products.
I made the easy version suggested with store-bought red curry paste and ramen noodles. Messed it up – used too many noodles, turned out too savory, I think, but tasted good otherwise. My son wants me to make it again.
i lived in chiang mai growing up. i ate khao soi every day for lunch. I never saw it done w. chicken-always crispy pork. I'v made it w. chicken and it's good but not authentic. also Mae Ploy brand curries do not taste like norhten thai curries. the brand Mieseri (sp) is much closer to the curries of chiang mai. Their red curry is spot on. fish sauce also is key. without it it aint khao soi. we put 6-8 whole cloves of garlic on top as a garnish. yum
Made this one tonight and it was amazing. Kids loved it! I used all ginger since I couldn't find lemongrass, still had some really tangy flavor. Loved this recipe, pretty easy too!
Maybe use Kimchi instead of the last added green fermented cabbage. It also has a nice kick to it.
Uhm you are so great are not wasting any food. I do also. Do you have a compost heap and veggie garden also?
Made this for dinner tonight minus a few things but the broth/soup part was delicious. I can see making this more often.
what is it with you us americans with doing stuff as fast as possible. relax, calm down, embrace patience and enjoy life..
I lived in Northern Thailand, Chiang Mai and Pai for 12 years and no joke, it's the best tasting soup on earth. I probably ate it 2-3 times a week over that whole 12 years and had every version at some of the most iconic places that make it. I've learned to make it from my (Thai) wife's family. Generally, the chicken is wing drummettes or drumsticks because rather than using chicken stock, they do it more as a one-pot method, where the bone-in chicken is part of the broth flavoring process, it's also often made with beef. Another interesting note regarding the Indian vs Thai flavors is, the paste with the cardamom is actually more authentic. Khao Soi originally started in Yunnan and was heavily influenced by Persian Muslims who brought spices from India in the 17th-century spice trade. Black cardamom is basically the main thing that makes Khao Soi curry paste different than all the other curry pastes. I'm definitely gonna give this version a go though because it is a hell of a process, and I would love if I could get even 80% there with a quick 30-minute version.
Great video, but just a bit of a note on your use of curry powder. Curry powder is not a spice, it's a type of spice mix. There are many versions, but generally they contain things like ginger, garlic, turmeric, cardamom, chilies, cumin, coriander seeds etc. This leads into your use of curry powder also being a bit weird. You already have a curry paste with all the other ingredients, not sure why you'd add a random spice mix where you have no control over the balance of spices when you literally just put in all the same spices into your paste, but fresh. It's like spending time making ramen all from scratch, then filling in a bag of instant ramen spice mix.
This is also why red curry paste doesn't have curry powder, as you mentioned. It would never make sense to list that, they list all the different ingredients in the curry. Technically, it does have curry powder in there, but they list the separate ingredients. Curry powder is mostly used as a term for that premade mix of spices you can use as the sole spice for a dish, as opposed to actually making the dish from scratch.
I made it. On a week night. It was great. The one mod I made was not adding the additional coconut oil because you can just use the coconut cream that congeals at the top of the can and fry the curry paste in that until the oil separates. Standard Thai curry cooking technique.
It may have taken me 3 hours (didn’t prep & was watching my 1 yr old granddaughter) but it came out great!
I made this last night and it was AMAZING. The only changes I made were that I added some bean sprouts and I skipped the fried noodles.
Made this tonight and it killed!!! Thank you, Chef. I'm keeping this in my arsenal for sure.
I’m Thai, living in S Grand Blvd. You cook as same as Thai recipe. Massaman curry paste is quite different. You can buy red curry and put curry powder, cardamon.
Can you come up with a vegetarian or pescatarian version of this?? Think it would work with shrimp (and possibly some clams and clam juice)?
Thanks Brian. I went to the asian market today and found the lemongrass and pickled mustard greens (which are delicious!) I was confused about your measurement conversions though. It says 5g or 1tsp salt but then it also says 12g or 4tsp tumeric and 10g or 4tsp curry powder. Maybe I'm not used to metric conversions bc I thought the conversion would be the same, regardless of the ingredient.
This looks/sounds amazing! Definitely giving this a try soon. Luckily I have a very good Asian Market nearby.
Coconut milk is such a delightful fat 😋
Amazing dish!!
PS It would be awesome if you included the macros for your meals!

Do NOT use low fat coconut milk. It will make it taste lame.
that bowl is screaming all kinds of texture and rich aromatic flavor. a word on eating noodles the asian way. asians do not bring a bunch of noodles to their mouth, bite them and then let the noodles below the bite drop back into the bowl. of course you can eat it however you want, but if you dont want to be recognized as a dweeby foreigner who doesnt get it about noodles, keep the bowl closer to your face, take a smaller bit of noodles on your chopsticks and slurp them all into your mouth kinda vigorously. yes, slurp. the louder the better. then everyone will wanna be your friend, from korea to japan to china to siam
As a Thai, If I have to choose one noodle dish to eat for the rest of my life, it would be Khao Soi. 😂
Excited to try your recipe….so glad Jay's is in my neighborhood, what would we do without it?!
This is NOT a 30 minute soup, unless someone does an hour worth of prep for you first.
Great recipe; it really is a super satisfying soup. But you should issue a warning. My wife is still mad at me because our house has smelled like a Thai restaurant for the past three days. 😆
I've never had Khao Soi before and it did not disappoint. Such deep, rich flavor and we couldn't stop eating it. My local Asian market did not have the mustard greens so I used pickled banana peppers. They also were out of Chinese egg noodles and I didn't want to substitute. So, I came home and made them and it was definitely worth the effort, although the 30 minute meal turned into a 2 hour meal. It's a fabulous recipe that I will definitely be making often. Soooooo good!!!! It is the best tasting soup on earth! Thank you!!!!!
Question. If opting for the jar Thai curry paste how much should you use?
I too love this weekender series and have made many of the recipes with the exception of the salad's. (just cannot get into salad even Though I know I really should.) So far my favorite, by far, is the Thai basil chicken which is out of this world delicious. I have yet to be able to do any of them in 30 minutes.
I would like to see a video explaining the different types of noodles. I get confused by which to use when and I can never seem to find the right ones. The only Asian noodles my local markets seem to have are rice noodles. Although I do want to visit a local Asian market.
You make really good videos, but the dance at the end of every episode is such a cringe..
you talk way to fast
I'm a Big fan of coconut curry. 👍👍
Made this last night. Added shiitakes to the liquid, also fried some crispy and used pickled red onion in place of the mustard greens. I’ll use thicker coconut milk next time (like you recommended) but DANG this is good! Even better for lunch today.
fuck this looks good
