Khaow Soi!! A Subtly Different Noodle Soup

Khao Soi (ເຂົ້າຊອຍ) is (according to Wikipedia) a Burmese influenced dish popular in Northern Laos. The Wikipedia article has a very interesting blurb about its past. I love to find food with a vibrant past. Vibrant taste and color count too..

The fresh vegetables and chilies really help to make a wholesome dish that you can customize yourself. I feel that the fresh vegetable plate is Vietnamese influenced. Probably came along with Pho

I heavily modify my food when I’m in Laos. I think you’ll notice that it has taken on a more “fire-y” appearance. The taste has gotten just as “fire-y.” Try to find some next time you are in Laos/Thailand (less common in Western Thailand)/Burma.
