Flavorful, aromatic and delicious…
I cannot explain how much I adore Thai cuisine. Thinking of Thai dishes, the first thing that comes to my mind is ‘how refreshing’! The aromatic ingredients used in it opens up my senses and I’ll be seen taking deep breaths in and in and it’s delicious.
I fell in love with Thai cuisine the moment I tried it, in fact I just love all the thai dishes. Since I am not a native of Thailand, I really don’t have any family recipes that I can share with you all. Every time I taste different Thai dishes, I try to recreate them in my kitchen. I have a good understanding about the ingredients used and with some internet search I kinda recreate those dishes. I’d already shared the recipe for making Panang beef curry, one of my favorites. The other day, I’d tried pad kee mao at a Thai restaurant, which is called as drunken noodles and couldn’t resist trying it in my kitchen. I searched the internet for some good recipes and obviously I came across many. As always my criteria was easy to make recipes that taste good, and I found such a recipe. I didn’t wait too long, tried it in my kitchen right away and it turned out delicious. However, at most Thai restaurants pad kee mao will be very saucy, may be that’s why it’s called drunken noodle stir fry :) The key ingredient that gives the aromatic flavor to pad kee mao is basil so if you are making this dish have lots of basil ready.
I used gluten free spaghetti, you could use thick rice noodles or thin noodles instead.
