Pad Kee Mao / Drunkards Noodles

Kee Mao is a popular noodle dish served throughout Thailand and the direct translation is "drunkards noodles". They are typically made with a good deal of spicy heat, and we like this dish served with a cold beer. We also offer instant kee mao.

Ingredients (serves 6)

2 14-ounce packages wide rice stick noodles
12 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh Thai chiles
1 1/2 pounds ground chicken

1/4 cup Golden Mountain sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
4 large plum tomatoes, each cut into 6 wedges
2 green bell peppers, cut into strips

Method

Cook noodles in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring frequently. Drain.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add garlic and Thai chiles; saute 30 seconds. Add chicken and next 4 ingredients and saute until chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes. Add noodles, tomatoes, and bell peppers; toss to coat. Transfer to large platter, sprinkle with basil leaves, and serve.
