This is a popular nightly feast in northern Thailand. There it is called Khao Soy. The original of this recipe calls for a garnish of a golden nest of crispy fried noodles. This is interesting as noodles are used to garnish a noodle dish. Fried noodles are placed on top of this spicy noodle curry as a way to create a variety of texture and pleasing display.
