Mama brand, instant pad kee mao
Mama makes a wide variety of popular instant noodles such as namtok and classic tom yum shrimp.
Mama kee mao is unique because you eat it "haeng" (or "dry", not as a soup). The noodles are thicker than traditional Mama noodles, and wavy.
Place the noodles in a bowl, add boiling water, let sit for 3 minutes then drain all of the water before adding the three different spice packets. Mix together and serve. Add a bit of cooked seafood and fresh basil if you'd like. The noodles are spicy and delicious. Kee mao means drunk in Thai language, and here is a kee mao recipe for the original, from scratch.
Ingredients: wheat flour, palm oil, sugar, salt, msg, garlic powder, basil leaf, bergamot leaf, chilli powder. Product of Thailand.
