- 14 oz coconut milk
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tbsp soy sauce

Instructions
For crispy fried noodles
- Boil the thin egg noodles for a few minutes until they are just cooked. Be careful not to overcook. And then drain them and rinse under cold water
- Spread the noodles on a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Pat them dry to remove excess moisture.
- In a deep pan or wok, heat enough vegetable oil for frying. The oil should be hot but not smoking. Carefully add a small batch of the dried noodles to the hot oil. Fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy. This usually takes just a minute or two, so keep a close eye on them.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the crispy noodles from the oil. Place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat the frying process with the remaining noodles.
- Allow the crispy fried noodles to cool completely before using them as a topping for your Khao Soi. You can store any leftovers in an airtight container.
For the Thai curry noodle soup
- Season chicken or beef with salt and pepper
- In a large pot, add coconut milk and heat it over medium heat. Add the red curry paste, and stir-fry for a minute until fragrant.
- Add the chicken/beef to the pot. Add the sliced onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Cook until the onions are softened.
- Add chicken or vegetable broth, soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and yellow curry powder. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 15-20 minutes.
- Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Place a portion of cooked noodles in each serving bowl. Ladle the hot soup over the noodles.
- Garnish with lime wedges, cilantro, sliced green onions, bean sprouts, and crispy fried noodles.
