Easy Bangkok Style Drunken Noodles Recipes

Steps:

• Combine habanero pepper, olive oil, vinegar, and soy sauce for pepper sauce in a small bowl; set aside.
• Combine fish sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and white pepper for noodle sauce in another bowl; stir until sugar has dissolved and set aside.
• Place rice noodles in a large bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak until tender, 4 to 8 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with cold water and leave in a colander until well drained.
• Meanwhile, combine ginger, garlic, and basil in a small bowl.
• Slice scallion greens and put in a small bowl for garnishing. Slice scallion whites and put in another bowl with bok choy, snow peas, bean sprouts, bell pepper, and onion.
• Heat oil in a wok or pan over medium-high heat until searing hot, but barley smoking. Add chicken; sear quickly on both sides until 90% cooked, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer chicken to a clean bowl. If the wok was hot enough when you added the chicken, there should be little to no residue on the bottom. If there is, wash or switch pans before continuing.
• Add a small splash of oil to the wok. Dump in the ginger mixture with 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper sauce. Cook for 30 seconds. Add the bowl of vegetables; cook, stirring frequently and scraping the bottom of the wok, until tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Return chicken to the wok and stir-fry until cooked through, 30 seconds to 1 minutes. Add noodles and fish sauce; cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Taste and add 1/4 teaspoons pepper sauce until a good level of spice has been achieved. Cook and stir until everything is well coated in sauce and takes on a light brown color, 1 to 2 minutes more.
• Garnish with scallion greens and serve with lime wedges and remaining pepper sauce.

Steps:

• Soak rice noodles in hot water until flexible, 10 to 15 minutes. Occasionally move the noodles around to separate them. Drain the water and cover with a wet paper towel.
• Combine oyster sauce, soy sauce, Asian fish sauce, maple syrup, sugar, and water in a small bowl.
• Heat vegetable oil and sesame oil in a wok, or large frying pan, over medium-high heat. Stir-fry shallots, chile peppers, and garlic until shallots are soft, about 2 minutes. Move the mixture around the outside of the pan to create a space and add chicken. Sear for 1 minute, then combine with shallot mixture. Add Chinese broccoli stems and stir-fry until tender, about 2 minutes. Add Chinese broccoli leaves and stir-fry until wilted.
• Add drunken noodle sauce and sliced green onions and mix. Cook until sauce begins to simmer. Add soaked rice noodles and toss to coat until noodles have absorbed the sauce and are cooked through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Stir in Thai basil leaves until wilted. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve.

Steps:

• # Place noodles in a pot of boiling water over medium-high heat. Stir until noodles have separated. When cooked "al dente" (chewy - not too soft), drain and rinse with cold water (to prevent sticking). Set aside.
• # To make the stir-fry sauce, place all sauce ingredients in a cup and stir well. Do a taste test (note that the sauce will be very strong at this point - it will be diluted later when added to the noodles). If too sour, add a little more sugar. If not salty enough, add more fish sauce.
• # In a wok or large/deep frying pan over medium to high heat, add a few tablespoons oil plus the lime leaves, shallots, garlic, galangal (or ginger), red chili, and tofu. (If you are using chicken or shrimp, add them at this point as well.) Stir-fry 1 minute, or until fragrant.
• Stir-frying tip: When wok/pan becomes too dry, add a little water, white wine or sherry (or cooking wine), or broth 1 tablespoons at a time (instead of adding more oil). This will save you calories and added fat.
• # Add the broccoli and stir-fry another 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until broccoli has turned bright green.
• # Add the stir-fry sauce plus the noodles and tomatoes. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, turning the noodles as you fry in order to incorporate sauce.
• # Remove from heat and add the bean sprouts and coriander leaves. Toss in the wok to combine.
• # Do a taste test for salt, adding more fish sauce (instead of salt) if needed. If too salty for your taste, add another squeeze of lime juice. If the noodles don't have enough heat, add more fresh chili or chili sauce (see below for recipe link).
• # Sprinkle with fresh basil and serve with Thai chili sauce. Enjoy!
