The dish serves as a symbolism of overlapping cultures between Burma, Laos and Thailand, formerly known as Siam. Khao soi was prominently inspired by the depth of the flavor of Thai lime soups. From the preparation to the finish, the curry sauce took over 12 hours to make. Galangal, kefir lime, and lemongrass leave were blended in a mortar to make curry paste. The homemade curry paste was simmered in chopped shallots, coconut milk, and coconut water making the consistency of curry sauce lighter than a regular curry. This curry noodle soup is traditionally served with a juicy chicken steamed homemade egg noodle, and then it is topped with pickled cabbage, fresh shallots, crispy noodle. Squeeze a wedge of lime and stir well together before you enjoy it. No substitution please, thank you!
