This high-protein chicken drunken noodles dish, known as Pad Kee Mao, is a spicy Thai-inspired favourite that delivers deep, savoury flavours in under half an hour. The combination of chewy flat rice noodles, fragrant Thai basil, and a punchy sauce made from black soy and fish sauce creates an addictive meal that rivals any takeaway. It is an excellent choice for a quick midweek dinner when you want something satisfyingly hot and aromatic.
Packed with lean minced chicken and fresh peppers, this recipe offers a healthy balance of protein and vegetables. The heat from the Thai chillies is traditional, but you can easily adjust the quantity to suit your preference. Serve this vibrant stir-fry as a standalone main course for a nutritious meal that is as simple to prepare as it is impressive to serve.
