About

“Drunken Noodles, or Pad Kee Mao, is a flavourful, tasty dish made with rice noodles stir fried with a combination of meat, seafood or tofu with vegetables, chilli, Thai basil and young green peppercorns. This well-known Thai street food gets its name from the idea that it’s a great cure for a hangover.” - Yui Miles, @cookingwith_yui
