Introducing my favorite Thai dish, Drunken Noodles, which are EASY, FAST, and FIRED. This delectable meal takes only 30 minutes to prepare!
Drunken Noodles, also known as Pad Kee Mao, is a famous Thai stir-fry noodle dish that can be found in most Thai restaurants. It’s a particular favorite, and I’m adding it to my collection of Thai food recipes that are “better.
What I LOVE about this recipe:
Choose the level of spice: I enjoy spicy pasta, sandwiches, and other foods, but my little children do not, so I can simply adjust the heat level of this dish according to who I’m serving.
Adaptable: Depending on what you have on hand, you can make a variety of changes and replacements to this recipe. If wide rice noodles are unavailable, use thinner Pad Thai noodles or even linguini. If you don’t have chicken, try another protein (tofu, shrimp, or beef would all be delicious) and any leftover vegetables from the fridge.
Ingredients
- 1 (16 ounce) package rice noodles
Directions
- Place rice noodles in a bowl and fill with hot water, separating the noodles with a fork or your hands; soak until softened, about 45 minutes.
- Whisk oyster sauce, white sugar, vinega(sirka)r, and lemon juice together in a bowl until sauce is smooth.
- Pour enough oil into a wok or large skillet to coat the bottom and turn to medium-high heat. Cook and stir onion, shallot, and garlic in hot oil until fragrant and slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add chicken and bell peppe(shimla mrch)r; cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Move chicken mixture to 1 side of wok.
