Pronunciation:

gài pàt kêe mao sên yài

Description:

Translated into English, Pad Kee Mao literally means “drunken noodles,” or “drunkard’s noodles.”  The lip-licking dish consists of wide rice noodles, known as sen yai, stir fried in a wok along with a mess of other ingredients.  The outcome is a plate of oily fried noodles that taste amazing while in any state of mind.

Are they named drunkard’s noodles because so many drunkard’s crave such a tasty treat, or is it because the noodles make you intoxicated with deliciousness?

Main Ingredients:

  • wide rice noodles (sen yai)
  • chicken
  • Thai chilies
  • oyster sauce
  • fish sauce
  • soy sauce
  • sugar
  • assorted vegetables
  • Thai basil
  • oil
  • garlic
  • peppercorns
