Pad Kee Mao ~ Drunken Noodles

Comment – I have been searching for a good Drunken Noodle recipe for years. It is my favorite Thai dish. I have talked to several restaurant cooks and have tried all different recipes online in an effort to find one that tastes authentic. The recipe listed below is the closest I have gotten so far.

8 ounces rice noodles

¼ cup sweet soy Brand

¼ cup golden mountain seasoning sauce

¼ cup fish sauce

5 TBSP sugar

1 TBSP Sambal Oelek

1 TBSP Lime Juice

½ TBSP rice vinegar

½ TBSP mirin (Kikkoman brand has no alcohol)

4 cloves garlic

¼ to ½ cup Thai Basil

Bean Sprouts – Optional

Veggies you like

1.) Cook chicken and set aside

2.) Sauce – mix all ingredients together except for the garlic, noodles, and basil.

3.) Noodles – Put enough water in a pot to cover noodles. Bring water to a boil then turn off the burner and add noodles. Stir for 5 minutes then strain.

4.) Put a TBSP of oil in a wok over medium heat. Test the oil to see if it sizzles by dropping one piece of garlic in. If it does toss the rest of the garlic in and cook for 30 seconds before adding

5.) Add the chicken, noodles, and sauce.  You dont have to add all the sauce to noodles…Just make sure they dont clump together. Add Basil leaves and everything for about a minute. Then serve.
