Description

Thai stir-fried fresh rice-flour noodles with egg, commonly known as “Pad Kee Mao” or “Drunken Noodles,” is a bold and flavorful dish that packs a punch. The dish features wide, fresh rice noodles, which are stir-fried with garlic, chilies, and vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and Thai basil, giving it a fragrant and spicy profile. A beaten egg is added to the wok, creating a silky, savory texture that clings to the noodles. Often paired with proteins like chicken, pork, beef, or seafood, this dish is known for its balance of savory soy sauce, a touch of sweetness, and the bright heat from the chilies. Pad Kee Mao is a popular comfort food in Thailand, loved for its rich, robust flavors and satisfying combination of chewy noodles and tender ingredients, perfect for a quick yet hearty meal.
