3 days agoIs There Really Alcohol In Thai Drunken Noodles? - Tasting Table
Drunken noodles (pad kee mao) contain no alcohol and are a spicy stir-fry of wide rice noodles, protein, vegetables, Thai basil, and chili.
There are a couple theories about why drunken noodles earned their name. One is that spicy food is what you crave while drinking (this checks out-Thai people love spicy foods any time of day, but especially when they're drunk). Another is that they are the perfect hangover cure. Whatever the reason, you don't need a night out to enjoy this dish.
