I just googled it! Looks great. Does Thai cuisine use dairy in their sauces, do you know? One of my favorite dishes I recently discovered is from Noodles and Co. Pad Thai!

It's usually coconut milk!

It’s ALWAYS coconut milk-or coconut cream. Thais don’t traditionally eat dairy. Also, interesting fact, Khao soi is specifically a Northern Thai dish, which is why it’s not commonly found at U.S. Thai restaurants. That’s because most Thais in the U.S. come from Bangkok/central Thailand. Another thing I want to add to this thread is Northern Thai sausage (sai ua) with sticky rice. Yummmmm.

-Thai person from Northern Thailand.

Interesting that many dishes are Thai that people adore! I need to travel there! Can you recommend a restaurant to try Khao Soi? Or a good Thai restaurant in MoCO or MD preferably? I have a dairy allergy so it would be great not to have to worry about it like I do with Indian food. Thanks!

For Montgomery County I suggest Sabai Sabai.

Has he tried Jose Andres’ daughter’s microwave version? It was in his Vegetables Unleashed cookbook.

Omg! I was going to say kasha varnishkes, too! But I felt it seemed to plain compared to everything else. But, I could live off of it, with perfectly fried onions...

Gado gado -- a delicious, satisfying dish that is vegetarian and high protein. (My family is from Indonesia.)

^This. One of the best dishes I have ever eaten, and that was 15 years ago on my honeymoon... from a stall in the corner of the market in Bali. It was so incredible that we rued we would never have it quite this way again so we rushed to the market in the morning to get one last hit to eat on our flight home. indescribably delicious.

This looks AMAZING!! Thank you!!

Thanks for this! I never heard of it before and I need wheat and dairy free recipes!

Appams are amazing. I haven’t been in a couple years, but Kalpasi in Herndon had good ones.

This looks amazing. Just a quibble though - this isn’t a vegetarian recipe. No meat but there is seafood and eggs. I have family members who are vegetarians. They would not be ok with this. But it looks delicious to me!

As a vegetarian I do not consume meat, fish or chicken so I’m not sure what your point is.

NP here, but this is fairly easy to adapt to be vegan. You don't need the prawn crackers or you can substitute puffed rice crackers.

Although you can't make the peanut sauce as given there are a number of peanut sauce recipes that are similar that can be made both vegetarian and vegan. So, substitute a different peanut sauce and the recipe is vegetarian.

The recipe includes shrimp paste and fish sauce, which are not vegetarian. Definitely could be adapted, I’m sure, but as is, it is not vegetarian. The label doesn’t matter, except that people should not make this for someone who is vegetarian without confirming they eat these things. Many would not.

My dad is from Indiana, and I love this pie. We call it Uncle Bill's pie because my mom got the recipe for an especially great version that was served at the reception after my dad's Uncle Bill's funeral.

Thai Square on Columbia Pike. I have never actually been there, but when DH and I lived in South Arlington we got delivery a lot. We don’t live in the DC area anymore but we were there last summer and had it delivered to our Crystal City hotel and it was just as good as we remembered. Tom Seitsema from the Post used to recommend it as well (maybe still does but I don’t read the chats since we moved).
