Pad Kimao [drunken Noodles] Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Noodles

   Start by boiling water in a large pot. Once boiling, add the flat rice noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté Aromatics

   In a large wok or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced shallots, and sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.

3. 3

   Add Vegetables

   Add the sliced bell pepper, julienned carrot, and broccoli florets to the wok. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

4. 4

   Combine Sauces

   In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, and sugar. Pour this sauce mixture into the wok, stirring well to combine with the vegetables.

5. 5

   Add Noodles

   Add the cooked noodles to the wok, tossing everything together gently to ensure the noodles are well coated with the sauce and mixed with the vegetables.

6. 6

   Finish with Basil and Spice

   Add the fresh basil leaves and chili flakes to the noodle mixture. Toss everything together for an additional minute to allow the flavors to meld.

7. 7

   Serve

   Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish.
