Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Thai Drunken Noodles.
Step 1
Start by gathering all your ingredients and prepping them as listed.
Step 2
For the rice noodles, soak them in hot water for about 10 to 15 minutes until they’re nice and flexible.
Step 3
Give them a gentle stir now and then to prevent sticking, then drain and cover them with a damp paper towel to keep them warm and cozy.
Step 4
Next, let’s whip up the sauce! In a small bowl, combine oyster sauce, soy sauce, Asian fish sauce, maple syrup, sugar, and a splash of cold water.
Step 5
Mix it all together until it’s well blended.
Step 6
Now, heat a mix of vegetable oil and sesame oil in a wok or a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
Step 7
Toss in the shallots, sliced chiles, and minced garlic, and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until the shallots turn soft and fragrant.
Step 8
If you’re adding chicken, push the veggie mix to the side of the pan and add the chicken strips.
Step 9
Sear them for about a minute before mixing everything together.
Step 10
Time to add some crunch! Toss in the sliced Chinese broccoli stems and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until they’re tender.
Step 11
Then, add the Chinese broccoli leaves and stir-fry until they wilt beautifully.
Step 12
Pour in your prepared sauce and sprinkle in the sliced green onions.
Step 13
Stir everything well and let it cook until the sauce starts to simmer, filling your kitchen with delicious aromas.
Step 14
Now, it’s noodle time! Add the soaked rice noodles to the pan and toss everything together, making sure the noodles are well coated in that tasty sauce and heated through, which should take about 2 minutes.
Step 15
Once everything is combined, remove the pan from the heat and gently fold in the fresh Thai basil leaves until they wilt.
Step 16
Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Step 17
Serve your dish hot, and enjoy the delightful flavors you’ve created!.
