Chiang Mai Curried Noodles

It’s up for debate as to whether this is a soup or a curry. The Thais consider it the former, but for me it’s a main meal. Khao soi gai is from Chiang Mai, in the north of Thailand, and what makes it superior to other curries is the addition of curry powder and the fried crispy noodles that adorn it. The extra trimmings of pickled shallots, chillies and heaps of fresh herbs don’t hurt either.
