Each part of Thailand has its own unique food. Many popular delicious dishes come from the northern part which also know as Lanna and Chiang Mai is the center of Northern Thailand. 😀
So today I'll cook Khao Sawy - Thai Northern Curry Noodles which is the most popular and iconic of Northern Thai food. And right now Khao Sawy can be found in just about everywhere in Thailand.
Khao Sawy is well known favorite among locals but a couple of year ago Netflix has made them even more popular by appeared on the first episode of SOMEBODY FEED PHIL (S01E01) on the NETFLIX so let's cook together with me and see how does the Khao Sawy look like.😆
Northern Thai Food is slightly influenced by Burmese cuisines and Yunnanese Chinese because of the ancient trekking trader. The meat in Khao Soi can be chicken or beef. But chicken is the most popular option among locals and also vegetarian version which today I'll used beef Sirloin, ground beef and tofu for my recipe.
There are many things combine together for Khao Sawy.
It's a dish of warm delicious curry broth served with egg noodles, coconut milk, a slide of slow cook beef sirloin and meatball and topped with crispy fried egg noodles which usually add lime, shallots, pickled cabbage, and chilli flake oil as a spicy kick condiments to make the dish even more flavourful.
The main ingredients are the coconut yellow curry broth that combine with Thai red chili paste plus turmeric powder, curry powder and masala spices. The broth will get thicker and oily a little on the surface after cooked properly.
The beef will soft, tender and juicy with literally melted in the mouth and get along really well with the aromatic coconut curry broth.
🇹🇭 Khao Sawy always served with egg noodles or flat egg noodles which should to be a perfect cook by boiled it with extremely hot water and tossed it with oil which I did tossed the noodles by the red oily surface from coconut curry broth.
There are 2 ways of the noodles on this dish that is the boiled chewy one underneath and the deep fried crispy one on top.
