THAI DRUNKEN NOODLES



Thai Drunken Noodles image

I had an impression that Thai's drunken noodles are an alcoholic dish until recently. Instead, the noodles are not cooked with alcohol, but a spicy dish with plenty of chilies and basil. No one knows how the name was coined, but it is one of the most popular Thai street foods worldwide.

CHEF JOHN'S DRUNKEN NOODLES



Chef John's Drunken Noodles image

I did have a drink or three while making these, so I could enjoy them as the food gods intended, which is slightly drunk. At least that's the main theory on how this dish got its name. The other theory is that it got its name because at one point it was made with wine - but that's not as entertaining! Serve garnished with Thai basil and lime, if desired.
