Pad Kee Mao, often called “Drunken Noodles,” is a spicy Thai stir-fry made with wide rice noodles (sen yai), chili, garlic, Thai holy basil, and mixed vegetables, usually stir-fried with chicken, pork, beef, or seafood. The dish is known for its bold heat and savory, herbaceous flavor. Despite the name, it contains no alcohol—the term kee mao (“drunkard”) refers to how spicy and satisfying it is for late-night eaters or those recovering from drinking. Originating from central Thailand, it’s a street food staple that delivers serious flavor.
