My favorite recipe for Thai drunken noodles (pad kee mao), made with your choice of protein and veggies and the most irresistible Thai basil sauce. Prep the sauce: Whisk the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl or measuring cup until combined.
When noodles are sizzling, add 3 tablespoons sauce and stir-fry, tossing to coat and cook through. Taste noodles for doneness and seasoning. If needed, add more pad kee mao sauce a little at a time until the dish is spicy and savory and not too sweet. Add hot water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if noodles are not quite soft.
Drunken Noodles (Pad Kee Mao) is a favorite Thai dish made with rice noodles and Thai basil. Drunken Noodles is a favorite late night dish after drinking!
As with all stir fries and stir fried noodles, this moves fast once you start cooking – around 6 minutes start to finish – so have everything ready to go before you start cooking! 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 colour and not as sweet.
