    As a Thai, I love how most of our famous foods are everyday food. Their process is simple and easy to make, no strict recipe you can eyeballing, and long as you can get your hand on the right ingredients it’s hard to fail a dish.

      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.

    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.

      That's interesting. I've been living in Yunnan for 7 years, and we don't have any local curry (perhaps anymore). Even having traveled to the southern border many times, you can't even find any vietnamese or thai restaurants that haven't been started as just interest shops for international cuisine. 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.

    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.

    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!!!!!

    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.

    Made this tonight exactly as directed. The only weird thing was my local Asian market sold the sour mustard greens as two separate packages--one with the green bits and another with the yellow parts. 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
    @al201103 2 роки тому +15

    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

    I agree - best soup ever. I used to live in Chiang Mai and had khao soi almost every day for breakfast. (The place by the Three Kings Monument - best khao soi in the city!). Not sure about 30 mins khao soi, but I'll give it a go.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    Wow. This really worked. I'm not surprised the recipe worked, I'm surprised I got it close to right. Tried it without the 'top' garnishes (lime/clitantro/onion) because, while I like them all, I wanted to see what the soup tasted like, first.

    I just found a new Asian market near me and actually saw Thai Basil for
    the first time ever in a store. I bought it, got home, and see that you
    just posted a Thai soup recipe! What timing!! Of course, this soup does
    not actually use Thai Basil, but I can fall back on your Thai Basil Chicken recipe. Can't have too much Thai.

  • @songgustafgard
    @songgustafgard 2 роки тому +3

    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.

In fact, I can't order anything else when we go there now. I haven't gotten around to making this dish, but judging by this video, yours is almost identical to the one I get from the restaurant.

    Fortunately for me, my wife makes this often and we grow most of the ingredients for it in our backyard, and that includes the kaffir limes/leaves. I eat it at least once a week, if not more. As for the chili's, she's Thai and Fresno chili's are mild compared to what she likes, so we grow our own chili's also.

    Probably going to make this on Sunday! That's family dinner night at my house and my turn to cook (roommate situation). I have some beautiful frozen vegetable broth that I made from scraps (mostly onion broccoli and swiss chard, though it had a bunch of mushrooms in it to so its surprisingly savory. highly recommend adding mushrooms to your vegetable stock if it feels weak). though I will still use the better than bouillon to make up for it. I will promptly return with the results when they come about.

    Khao soi is one of the most memorable dishes that my late grandma made. Years ago when I was visiting Chiang Mai for the first time, I ordered the dish, not knowing what it was. It triggered a vividly strong food memory from when I was younger. During the pandemic I sought out several different recipes, including one from J. Kenji López-Alt, a Thai blogger, a culinary school, and even a Burmese version. I made pastes from a mortar and pestle and a food processor. I played around with cumin and chickpea flour. I also reached out to my cousins soliciting any insights about grandma's recipe. Unfortunately, none of those recipes captured that elusive food memory. I'm fairly certain this recipe won't evoke that memory, but it may be fun to try it out.

  • @kairaaanshi_

    Khao soi is no joke bro. It’s my go to at Thai restaurants that have it, and I ate it for the first time when I read the description on a menu one day and decided to switch it up and try something new. Best decision ever. The broth is so flavorful and filling and warm, and I feel so comforted eating
