Drunken Noodles

Drunken Noodles consist of wide rice noodles stir-fried with diced chicken, Chinese broccoli, garlic, onions, Thai chilies, and tomato wedges in a robust sauce combining oyster sauce, fish sauce, soy sauce, chili paste, sesame oil, and sugar. Fresh Thai basil is stirred in at the end, adding aromatic herbal notes. The dish balances savory, spicy, and slightly sweet flavors with tender chicken and crisp-tender vegetables.

Notes

  • Asian market sections generally carry most ingredients; substitutions include broccoli or broccolini for Chinese broccoli and sweet basil for Thai basil.
  • Use one minced serrano chili instead of two Thai chilies if unavailable.
  • Pad Thai noodles are a suitable alternative to wide rice noodles.
  • Use gluten-free soy sauce, fish sauce, and oyster sauce to make the dish gluten free.
