Drunken Noodles is the literal translation of Pad Kee Mao as the concept is that those spicy Thai noodles must be eaten with an ice chilly beer and that they're a vast treatment for hangover. I can be sure equally instances to be true!
This Thai noodle dish is a really widely wide-spread equally in Thailand and in Thai restaurants outdoor of Thailand. You may be stunned how quick and simple this recipe is to make!
Drunken Noodles!
Get Drunken Noodles from the streets of Thailand, and except you've an nice spice-o-meter, you’ll be chugging down the beer in an try to cool the burn on your mouth.
Make this at house and also you possibly can manipulate the heat!
The quantity of chilli I’ve blanketed within the recipe is moderate sufficient for many of us (I think), but sufficient so that you possibly can style the heat. By all means, really experience unfastened to take place the spice dial!

What you need
There are all varieties of alterations of Drunken Noodles in Thailand or even extra within the western world. In Thailand the NULL constants are hen and Thai Basil, and fairly typically it got here with child corn as well, although from my examine I couldn’t be sure that this was a “must have” on this dish.
Rice Noodles
Get the widest dried rice noodles you'll be able to discover at your grocery store. Here in Australian supermarkets, the widest I can discover is labelled “Pad Thai”, although ironically, it’s really too extensive for Pad Thai!
Thai Basil
There are truly NULL varieties of Thai Basil – usual Thai Basil and Thai Holy Basil. Drunken Noodles may be made with either.
Outside of Thailand, restaurants usually use usual Thai Basil simply due to the fact it's simpler to discover than Holy Basil. I really have challenge discovering Holy Basil in Thai grocery stores!
Is Thai Basil the comparable as usual basil?
Thai Basil isn't the comparable as usual basil. It tastes like usual basil with a mild aniseed flavour. A very specific flavour which you simply realize and love about your favorite dishes at your native Thai restaurant like Drunken Noodles and Thai Chilli Basil Chicken!
Best exchange for Thai Basil
Regular basil! In fact, Drunken Noodles is traditionally made with Holy Basil which tastes extra comparable to usual basil than Thai Basil!
How to make it
As with all stir fries and stir fried noodles, this strikes quick as soon as you bounce cooking – round 6 minutes bounce to end – so have everything competent to move earlier than you bounce cooking!
Comparison to unique normal Thai noodles
Whereas Pad Thai is nutty and sweet, Pad Kee Mao is spicy and savoury. Compared to Pad See Ew, the sauce of Drunken Noodles is lighter in shade and never as sweet.
Also, neither Pad Thai nor Pad See Ew would now not have Thai Basil in it, and it's now not as spicy.
Actually, Pad Kee Mao is pretty a lot like Thai Chilli Basil Chicken stir fry with noodles added!
Better made at home
In Western Thai restaurants, Drunken Noodles are typically very saucy, oily and salty – too a lot so in my opinion, and truly unique from the streets of Thailand. So it’s actually good to be capable to make a more healthy yet simply as tasty model at home!
And be counted to crack open an ice chilly beer to take pleasure in those Drunken Noodles with! – Nagi x
Recipe Notes:
1. Wide rice noodles - use vast ones and train per packet. I use ones labelled as "Pad Thai" rice noodles (see in post, right right here it's at Woolworths). Fine to make use of thinner ones when you cannot discover vast ones.
2. Chilli - 2 birds eye or Thai chillies provides this a good buzz of spice but will not blow your head off! Feel unfastened to modify on your taste. Can also use a dollop of chilli paste rather - upload it with the chicken.
3. Thai Basil - tastes like common basil with moderate aniseed flavour. Traditionally made with Thai Holy Basil which tastes like common basil but most restaurants backyard Thailand use common Thai Basil (easier to find, bought at Harris Farms and a few Woolies, Coles in Australia).
Substitute with common basil (it tastes like Drunken Noodles in Thailand!)
4. Soy Sauce - equally faded and darkish soy sauce might be substituted with all objective soy sauce (ie soy sauce that's simply labelled "soy sauce" with out "dark" or "light" or "sweet" in entrance of it).
Can also sub the darkish soy with extra faded soy.
DO NOT use all darkish soy sauce - shall be far too strong.
5. Nutrition per serving, assuming 3 servings.
