Experience the vibrant and flavorful Street Style Thai Drunken Noodles, a simple yet delicious lunch recipe featuring flat rice noodles stir-fried with your choice of chicken or shrimp and colorful vegetables, all tossed in a savory soy sauce and brown sugar glaze.

Ingredients

Noodles and Sauce

  • 8 oz flat rice noodles
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

Protein

  • 8 oz boneless chicken or shrimp

Vegetables

  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned

Other

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles: Boil water in a large pot and cook flat rice noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to prevent overcooking.
  2. Heat the oil and sauté garlic: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add minced garlic and sauté for about one minute until fragrant, which infuses the oil with flavor.
  3. Cook the protein: Add the boneless chicken or shrimp to the skillet. Stir-fry until cooked through, which takes approximately 3-5 minutes for chicken or 2-3 minutes for shrimp, ensuring the protein is well-seared and tender.
  4. Add the vegetables: Toss in bell peppers, broccoli florets, and julienned carrots. Stir-fry for another two minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender yet retain a crisp texture, preserving their freshness and color.
  5. Combine noodles and sauce: Add the cooked noodles back into the skillet along with the soy sauce and brown sugar. Toss everything together thoroughly until well combined and heated through, allowing the sauce to coat the noodles and ingredients evenly.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add a few slices of fresh chili or a teaspoon of chili paste during the garlic sautĂ© step.
  • You can substitute the chicken or shrimp with tofu for a vegetarian option.
  • Ensure not to overcook the noodles; al dente texture works best for stir-fry.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to control salt levels while maintaining flavor.
