🌶️ Thai Drunken Noodles (Pad Kee Mao)

2 servings · prep 15 min · cook 10 min

Ingredients

• 300 g wide rice noodles
• 250 g ground pork (or chicken)
• 4 garlic cloves
• 3 Thai chilies
• 1 bell pepper
• 1 large bunch Thai basil
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tsp sugar
• Oil

Method

1. Pound the garlic and chilies together in a mortar: it releases far more aroma than chopping.
2. Heat the wok very hot and throw in the garlic-chili paste for just 20 s.
3. Add the meat and sear it, then the pepper.
4. Add the noodles and the sauces, stir-fry 2 min.
5. Turn off the heat and throw in the Thai basil all at once: the residual heat is enough to perfume it without blackening it.
