Italian drunken noodles are my Italian fusion take on one of my favorite Thai-style dishes. Brimming with noodles drenched in a flavorful, wine-infused sauce, bits of spicy Italian sausage, plus sweet bell peppers, onions and basil, this Italian take on drunken noodles is not only scrumptious, but quick and easy to prepare as well!
So I made these low carb drunken noodles! They were inspired by pad kee mao, a popular Thai dish that’s often eaten as a hangover remedy (kinda funny since they’re usually served with a cold brew). I replaced the rice noodles with Shirataki noodles which are well suited to this and other Asian dishes.
Drunken Noodles are made with a rich, thick tomato sauce that is loaded with herbs and garlic. This dish is perfect for warming up on a cold night, or for feeding a large group of people. By contrast, Lo Mein is made with a lighter sauce that uses soy sauce and rice vinegar as its main flavorings.
Pad Thai is typically served with a sweet and sour sauce, while Drunken Noodles are typically served with a hearty tomato sauce. Pad Thai also typically contains tofu and peanuts, while Drunken Noodles do not. Finally, Pad Thai is a Thai dish while Drunken Noodles are an Italian dish-making them two very different dishes indeed!
