RECIPE
------
CURRY PASTE
▪30g or 2 Tbsp ginger, grated
▪15g or 1Tbsp Lemongrass, grated
▪25g or 6-7 cloves garlic, grated or minced
▪Zest of 1 lime
▪50g or ¼ of a red onion, minced
▪5g or 1tsp salt
▪12g or 4tsp turmeric
▪10g or 4tsp curry powder
▪3g or 1 ½ tsp coriander
▪5g or 2 1/4tsp paprika
▪(optional) 1-2 fresno chile, minced
Stir ingredients to combine into a paste.
------
SOUP
▪1 1/2lbs/700g boneless skinless chicken thighs
▪Salt
▪40g or 3Tbsp Coconut oil
▪2 14oz/414mL cans coconut milk
▪1kg/4c chicken stock (Full tutorial in this video: • Chicken Pot Pie Recipe... )
▪High smoke point frying oil (canola, vegetable, coconut)
▪Chinese fresh egg noodles (sub regular fresh egg noodles, ramen noodles, or rice noodles)
▪30g or 1 1/2Tbsp fish sauce
▪25g or 1/8c brown sugar
▪20-25g or 4-5tsp Sambal chili sauce
Salt chicken on both sides. And set aside for a few minutes while you make the curry paste.
Preheat large dutch oven or pot over med high then add coconut oil. When melted, add curry paste (recipe below) and pinch of salt. Stir and cook for 60-90 sec until aromatic and beginning to glaze pot. Stir in coconut milk and chicken stock to combine and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, carefully lay in chicken thighs. Once simmering again, reduce heat to low to cook for 15-20min or until thighs are fully cooked and tender. Once tender and breaking apart easily, remove chicken from broth.
Add fish sauce, brown sugar, and sambal to soup and stir to combine.
Cut chicken into bite sized pieces and return them to the broth. Taste for seasoning and adjust if needed with fish sauce and/or chili sauce.
For the noodles in the soup, bring water to a boil, salt liberally, and boil until al dente. If using fresh noodles, this should take 2-3 minutes depending on the noodle.
------
GARNISH
▪Red onion - raw, thinly sliced, and rinsed under cold water
▪Cilantro
▪Lime wedge
▪Crunchy fried noodles (see below)
▪Pickled mustard greens (If you can’t find, look for a mellow sauerkraut or sour deli pickle. Essentially you want something tangy and crunchy)
For the fried noodle topping, add about 1”/2.5cm of oil to a medium sauce pot and heat over medium high. Once oil reaches 350F/175C, drop in a small bundle of the fresh egg noodles to fry for about 15-20 seconds per side or until puffed up and taking on some color. Once done, transfer to towel to drain excess oil. If subbing in packaged ramen, no need to fry. These can be crunched on top of the soup straight from the package.

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.

However, there are many similarities with other dishes.

My family tree has Thai in it thanks to my uncle marrying my aunt strait from Thailand during the war... She was great cook, and loved feeding people her home-style thai cooking. I couldn't pronounce any of the names, nor could I tolerate the heat in some of them lol. She recently passed away from Covid in 2020. I made last week this and took it to my cousins house for her memorial anniversary. I thought I could have done better, because I improvised on a few things (I used ramen noodles, and I didnt have any pickled mustard greens) but my uncle teared up when he ate it. I thought I had made him sad.. but he looked at me and smiled and said "Did your aunt share her recipe with you before she passed?? Because this is delicious and tastes like she made it herself." I smiled, quietly went to the bathroom, and cried. Food can help people heal. Your recipe is proof. Thanks Brian❤

As an American I can safely say every single one of us also googles how to make conversions in our own system cuz it literally makes no sense

@andrewkrahn2629 2 жыл бұрын

I totally support standardizing stuff. That said, it's fun to talk about the US system because it's interesting. The weird conversions exist because when the system was invented it wasn't one system, and the different parts were never intended to be used together. People used a different scale to measure construction lumber than to tax land area. So most of the whackier conversions sound impractical to use because no one ever actually used them. The rest of it is usually just doubling (with some not having their own name) Tablespoon Ounce (1/4 cup) (1/2 cup) Cup Pint Quart (2 quarts) Gallon Peck and Bushel have volumes measured in gallons, but they were designed for drygoods like apples and grains, not liquids, so they weren't really supposed to have a clean conversion, because when would you be buying a gallon of apples, and who could lift a bushel of ale. At some point a pint of liquid was considered equal to a pound, which was nice! But they had different needs, so this meant that the wine pint was larger than the water pint, since booze is lighter. The mile was originally 1000 paces (distance between two places your left foot lands), very like a meter/kilometer. Each was divided into 5 feet. But lots of different cultures used the "foot" as a system of measurement, and the UK had a slightly different definition of that unit than Rome had. Preserving the length of the Roman mile was much easier than keeping a nice round conversion, so they redefined the existing length of the Roman mile from 5000 Roman feet to 5280 of their unit. It would be cool if everyone was using the same units, though I'll miss the powers of two in the imperial system. Also, 12 shows up sometimes in the US system (notably 12 inches in a foot) because before Arabic numerals showed up with their zero, base 12 was also very common in Europe and elsewhere.

Because I live in Chiangmai, Thailand, so I ate this food the first time since I was about 4-5 years old. From that moment on it has become my most favourite food, which I eat 2-3 times a week😂. I like your receipt which is easy to follow with great taste. In Thailand, there are many variations on the pastes. Some add kafir lime peel (common), palm sugar (may add later in the soup to enhance sweet flavour), black cardamom (common), coriander root, coriander seed, fingerroot, shrimp paste .. etc. Usually we boil and reduce the coconut milk by heat causing the coconut oil separate from the coconut milk. But some processed coconut milk was emulsified so it can’t be separated by heat, so adding coconut oil to stir fry the paste is another method. We usually add fried chili-in-oil into Khaosoi before eating to add more hot flavour. Note: fried chili-in-oil in Thailand is a bit like Chinese version with much less oil and much more chili.

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!!!!!

I bought both for maximum authenticity. A superb soup! Another winner from Brian. Though now I have about a pound of leftover pickled mustard greens.

@al201103 2 жыл бұрын

Excellent video - I will definitely be trying this! A few things to add: 1 - Yellow curry is indeed closer to an Indian curry but it is still widely available in Thailand. So even though it may not seem typically Thai, it is very much part of the culinary landscape! 2 - For anyone buying pre-made paste - if it's your first time using it, go easy on salt and heat until the end. Different pastes have different levels of both, so err on the side of caution until the cooking is done and then adjust at the end. I know Brian adjusted at the end, but for my paste, I wouldn't add much salt or fish sauce at the point where he did. 3 - If you can't get coconut oil, use coconut milk instead and heat it till the water has evaporated. Coconut oil is what you'll be left with 4 - Don't like fresh coriander (or cooking for someone that doesn't)? Cut the stalks and roots off a bunch of coriander, grind or blend and use that to flavour. TOTALLY different taste to the leaves, very nice and often missing from pre-made pastes.

Since the pickled mustard greens tend to be pretty aggressively unavailable outside specialty Asian markets, a good sub that I've found is pickled jalapenos. Good and sour and tangy, and also the mild heat is not out of place. Quick pickle home versions tend to be nice and crunchy (which better mimics the mustards), but even the jar ones do in a pinch. Great recipe as always!

I've been using mortar and pestle for the base and it can be quite laborious. But your trick with the microplane is brilliant! On the other hand, if you're going to the Asian market for the lemongrass or fresh egg noodles, you might as well get the Kafir lime leaves. They often have those there and would be more authentic than regular lime zest with a nuance in flavor.

Nice vid Bri! Love thai food, it's my favourite cuisine. Such bold flavours but it's always balanced, and as a pescatarian, there's lots of options for me. One thing I'd change is adding a bit of coconut milk to your pot before your curry paste instead of oil, let it separate and then add the curry paste, let it cook a bit and then add the rest of the coconut milk. But I guess starting with coconut oil kinda simulates the separation process without having to do it

@songgustafgard Жыл бұрын

Probably one of my favorite noodle soups. I usually start with half a can of coconut milk and cook the paste until it evaporates and the oil breaks from the paste. Takes a bit more time but worth it in the end product. My cheater route also involves the Mae Ploy Red Curry Paste you mentioned, crushed up macadamia nuts, and curry powder. Can confirm, it kicks.

I tell all my dumb little homies how great this channel is. The lack of pretension and showing us numerous ways to prepare this dish along with what acceptable substitutions we could use is some of the stuff I really love about cooking. Not flexing because every ingredient was made from scratch, which while great is not something realistically anyone could ever do all the time.

Try this with slow stewed beef! I live it Thailand. This is my favorite soup/curry. Never met anyone here who has tried it and didn't like it. Chicken is almost always only drumsticks, but any bone in chicken can be used to extract the bone marrow flavor while stewing. But, my favorite by far is the beef. Melt in your mouth tender beef with the soup is to die for. Also, you forgot an important condiment - chili oil paste. This is how we adjust the spice level ourselves here and is why almost all Thai food is served with condiments (chili powder/paste, fish sauce, vinegar, bean sprouts, soy sauce, etc) on the side, so that we can adjust the individual levels of spice/sour/sweet/salty to your own taste.

You are right

Another vote for beef. If you use the cut of beef used for stew (cheaper cut with ligaments, fat, etc.), you will get a more flavorful soup base than if you use chicken.

Took this recipe and adapted it down by using way less chicken stock and thickening the sauce to a gravy consistency. Served over rice with the same garnishes and it was AWESOME.

I'm a Thai person, but I'm not staying in the Northern. I live in Bangkok. but I can confirm for this menu is a perfect dish you had to try once if you choose to travel to Thailand. And after watching your cooking, it is one of the best recipes for instruction. Thank you so much for sharing. I'm starting to check out your channel.

Oooooh, "best tasting soup on Earth", as a Russian (we eat a lot of soups), and a general lover of soups, I take you up on your challenge -and given that Tom Kha and Tom Yum rate in my top 5, I am happy for another Thai soup I haven't yet explored! Thanks for the nicely off-the-beaten-path recipe collection btw. It's not too far off into the tall grass, and brings new ideas. Keep at it! :D
