Pad Kee Mao
Ingredients
Preparation
To make the sauce, start by whisking all of the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl. Once combined, set the sauce aside.
In a large pan over medium heat, heat oil. Add the shallot, chiles, and garlic, and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then, add mushrooms and cook for an additional 5 minutes until tender and slightly browned. While the mushrooms cook, add green onions to the pan and let them cook alongside the mushrooms as you prepare the pasta.
In a separate pot, add tagliatelle with a pinch of salt to boiling water. Boil 3-4 minutes or until it reaches the desired tenderness. Once cooked, drain the pasta.
Now, it’s time to bring all the elements together. Add the drained pasta and the prepared sauce to the pan with the cooked vegetables. Stir everything together, ensuring that the sauce coats the pasta and vegetables evenly.
To serve, dish out the pasta with vegetables and sauce alongside a refreshing cold beer. Enjoy your meal!
Pad Kee Mao, also known as Drunken Noodles, is a popular Thai stir-fried noodle dish that is packed with bold and spicy flavors. The name “Drunken Noodles” originates from the belief that this flavorful dish is a perfect cure for a hangover, although it does not actually contain alcohol. The dish typically consists of wide rice noodles stir-fried with a combination of meats or seafood, fresh vegetables, aromatic herbs, and a savory sauce. However, in our version of the dish, we substituted the wide rice noodles with our homemade tagliatelle noodles to add a unique twist.
