  • About

Literally translated as “drunk noodles,” There is, oddly, no alcohol in the dish. The name is more suggestive of how you will feel after eating this spicy dish: drunk and they’re often eaten by drunk people at late-night street stands so the name fits. This version is made with sliced pork, but ground pork or chicken can be substituted with equally tasty results.
