Beef Khao Soi (Beef Curry Noodles)

You’ll find this beef curry noodle stew well-loved by Chiang Mai and neighboring Laos for its full-on-flavor and textural contrasts. There’s both crunch and chew from deep-fried egg noodles and the tangle of thick boiled ones in the same bowl. Bite also into an assortment of complex Thai flavors, including sour lettuce and cool lime on the side - they’re needed to mellow out currents of strong red curry and the brothy beef aroma that hits your tongue. Here, Thai Michelin-starred chef Ton uses wagyu beef slices, which you can switch out for any kind of meat including chicken, pork and regular beef cuts.
