Set aside one third of the egg noodles, boil the rest for 1 minute less than the package time, and drain.
Heat the vegetable oil to 175°C and fry the reserved noodles for 45 seconds until crisp.
Toast the red curry paste, turmeric, and curry powder in a pot for 2 minutes.
Add the coconut milk and chicken stock, then put the chicken drumsticks into the pot.
Cook the chicken over low heat for 32 minutes, then balance the broth with fish sauce and brown sugar.
Divide the boiled noodles among bowls and top them with chicken and hot curry broth.
Serve with crispy noodles, pickled mustard greens, red onion, and lime.
💡 Tip: Add the crispy noodles right at serving; if they sit in the soup early, they soften within minutes and khao soi loses its signature texture.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve khao soi gai hot with lime, red onion, pickled mustard greens, and optional chili oil.
