Ring in Thai New Year with Khao Soi

The Thai New Year of Songkran began on Friday. The three-day holiday includes water fights all over the country and special celebrations. I say it’s a good excuse to try my favorite dish from Thailand – khao soi. In Chicago, there are two Chicago area restaurants where they make versions that aren’t that much different from where the dish originated, in Chiang Mai.
