Khao Soi Gai
Curry noodle soup with chicken
The exact origin of Khao Soi is disputed. Some theories suggest that it came to northern Thailand with Chinese Muslim immigrants from the Yunnan region. Others believe that the dish originated in neighboring Myanmar.
There are various regional variations of Khao Soi, which differ in the type of broth or noodles used. However, the best known is probably the “Khao Soi Chiang Mai” or “Khao Soi Islam” pictured here, which is made with coconut milk and egg noodles.
