Drunken noodles (Pad kee mao)

Pad kee mao (more commonly known as drunken noodles) is a stir-fry noodle dish originating from Thailand, similar to phat si-io. It is made with broad rice noodles, chicken thighs (or breast), garlic, red chilis, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, baby corn, brown sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, and holy basil.

Other versions of the dish use squid or different seafood as the main ingredient. There are many theories as to the origin of its name, but the most commonly accepted one is that pad kee mao is a popular food of choice for late-night drinking.

Nowadays, the dish is also found in Thai-fusion cooking, with some versions made with instant noodles or even spaghetti.
