Khao Soi

Soups and Broths

Khao soi, also spelled khao soy, is a dish served in Northern Thailand, believed to have evolved from Chin Haw Muslim traders who plied the spice route when the region was controlled by the Burmese. A comparable dish, ohn no khao swe, known in Myanmar as khao swe, is widely served there. Traditionally the wheat-noodle dough is spread on a cloth stretched over boiling water, then the steamed sheet noodles are rolled and cut with scissors.
