There’s something crazy about tasting a dish for the first time… and feeling like you’ve known it forever.

So I had to recreate it 👇

Khao Soi (my version)

Ingredients
500g chicken thighs
1–2 tbsp homemade masala
1 onion, finely chopped
2–3 tbsp coriander stems, chopped
3–4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp ginger, minced
1 stalk lemongrass
1 cinnamon stick
1 tomato, chopped (not traditional — my mum’s touch)
1 can (400ml) coconut milk
1–2 tbsp soy sauce or fish sauce
2 portions egg noodles

Toppings
Crispy fried noodles
1 lime, cut into wedges
¼ red onion, thinly sliced
Fresh coriander
Chilli oil (optional)

Method
Smash the lemongrass and tie it into a knot
Sauté onions with coriander stems and a cinnamon stick until golden
Add chicken thighs, then ginger and garlic
Add masala and toast for a minute
Add chopped tomato and cook it down
Pour in coconut milk and add the lemongrass
Simmer until the chicken is tender
Season with soy sauce or fish sauce
Finish with a splash of lime juice
Serve over noodles with crispy noodles, lime, red onion, and fresh coriander

Familiar flavours… just seen through a different lens.
