Northern Thai Favorites

The northern region of Thailand is home to some of Chef Jet Tila's favorite hearty and savory dishes. He starts things off with a creamy Chicken Khao Soi, a curry noodle dish that he grew up making with his family. Then, he whips up a mouthwatering Northern Thai Pork Belly Curry that pairs perfectly with rice.

Chicken Khao Soi

This is hands-down my favorite noodle dish to eat and cook. It comes from my mom's home region of northern Thailand. This dish is very reminiscent of the popular Japanese tonkotsu ramen. The coconut curry is fortified with a very rich broth. "Khao" is the Thai word for rice—in this case rice noodles—and soi means "to cut." So this dish was originally made with hand-sliced rice noodle sheets, but the modern version is adapted for thin wheat noodles.
