Instructions

Start by frying the noodles. Separate the strands and use only a handful. Heat a medium saucepan with enough oil for deep frying. Once the oil is hot, add the noodles and cook until golden brown. Only a few seconds! They will puff up very quickly, so have your wire-mesh skimmer ready and plate lined with a paper towel nearby. Scoop the fried noodles out and cook the next batch until you are done.
Prepare the noodles according to package directions. Cook and set aside.
Make the Khao Soi paste by blending all the ingredients in a food processor until smooth. (Check the recipe card below).
Heat a large stock pot or Dutch oven on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the thick, creamy part of your coconut milk (⅓ cup). Cook until the oils separate from the water and form small bubbles. Add the curry paste and stir together.
Add the rest of the coconut milk and the stock and stir the broth together. Add the chicken and lower the stove to medium heat. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring a few times.
Add the fish sauce, soy sauce, and sugar, and stir. Let it cook for 2-3 more minutes, sample the broth, and adjust as needed. Done!
