Drunken Noodles
Drunken Noodles
Drunken noodles are also known as Pad Kee Mao in Thai cuisine. Kee Mao in Thai means drunkard, referring to both the cooking wine used in this dish and the dish being great for the drunkards sobering up. This is a really quick and simple dish that can use any type of protein. If you aren’t a fan of pork, you can substitute ground chicken, regular chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
