Thai Druken Noodles, Kee Mao, Chicken
This is a new, slightly less-spicy version of our original kee mao recipe. Kee Mao are drunken noodles, meaning eaten drunk, fiery hot spice level, with beer and/or other alcohol.
The fresh ginger is a nice touch but optional and not authentic Thai for Kee Mao. Add more fresh Thai chilli peppers to increase heat level.
We like using dark thick soy sauce to give the chicken a darker color but you can also use thin soy sauce instead.
This has a touch of MSG which is optional but recommended here to get the optimal flavor.
