Instructions

  1. Prepare stir-fry sauce. Mix sugar, soy sauce, and fish sauce. Keep aside.
  2. Prepare chili pepper by taking off the stem and slice. Use gloves for hot chilies or take care when cutting so that you don't burn your skin or eyes.
  3. Prepare noodles as per package instructions and keep other ingredients ready to stand by.
  4. Heat up a large pan or wok with the oil. It should get super hot, but it shouldn't smoke.
  5. Add the onion slices to the pan and the finely chopped or grated ginger and garlic. Stir, cook for a minute over high heat.
  6. Add baby corn and bell pepper slices to the pan and stir cook for a minute over high heat.
  7. Place chicken into the hot pan and cook on all sides over high heat for 2 minutes or so.
  8. Season with black pepper and add the fresh holy basil or Thai basil to the pan.
  9. Place noodles into the hot pan and pour stir-fry sauce over the noodles.
  10. Stir cook noodles over high heat for a minute or so or until the drunken noodles look ready.
  11. Serve hot and enjoy.

Notes

  • I use Thai Bird Eye Chili. Pick a spicy hot chili variety.
  • Use flat rice noodles. I simply used pad thai noodles, which are not that broad, but if you can find broader flat rice noodles, use those instead.
