About drunken noodles
Praew’s pad kee mao follows the Thai combination of rice noodles, holy basil and chillies. This version chooses her fresh-rice-noodle option with chicken breast, baby corn, carrot and fresh green peppercorns.
Garlic, fish sauce, dark soy sauce and oyster sauce supply the savoury seasoning, balanced by white sugar. Fingerroot adds the earthy character described by the author and can be omitted if unavailable.
The noodles are tossed through the sauce with the chicken and vegetables. Holy basil is folded in after the pan leaves the heat, preserving its distinct flavour. The author explicitly serves the finished stir-fry hot.
