Vegan Thai Drunken Noodles (Pad Kee Mao)

tbsp coconut sugar (or palm sugar)

tbsp water

tbsp vegetarian mushroom oyster sauce (see notes)

tbsp dark soy sauce

soy sauce

fish sauce ((see homemade recipe here))

tofu

noodles

tbsp neutral oil (divided)

onion

green onions (sliced in to 2” long pieces)

garlic (minced)

red bell pepper (sliced)

fish sauce

white pepper (to season the tofu

2-3 bird’s eye chili (deseeded and sliced (see notes))

Simply mix everything together in a bowl until the sugar has dissolved and then set it aside. Feel free to adjust the measurements depending on your desired taste.

Sauce

If using tofu, press the tofu for 8 to 10 minutes to drain out excess water. I like to do this by wrapping the tofu in a towel and placing a heavy board or surface on top.

Afterwards, slice into 1”x2” (2.5 by 5 cm) strips or other shape of choice.

Tofu

Place the dry rice noodles in a heatproof bowl. Pour in boiling hot water until the noodles are completely submerged.

Leave the noodles to soak in the water for 8 to 10 minutes or until they’re not longer translucent and still very chewy. The noodles will turn chewy, white, and pliable. Drain from the water and set aside. I usually like to soak them in the water right before I start cooking so I can directly transfer the freshly soaked noodles in the pan.

Noodles

Heat a large pan or wok over high heat. Once hot, add in 2 tbsp oil. Sauté the onion, green onions, and garlic for 2  minutes or until tender and translucent.

Add in the bell pepper and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until tender.

Move the veggies to the side of the pan. Add in the remaining 1 tbsp oil.

Over high heat, add in the strips of tofu.

Pour in the vegan fish sauce and white pepper, to season the tofu. Flip over the tofu once golden brown to cook the remaining side.

When the tofu is golden brown, mix it in with the bell peppers and onions.

Move that aside and then quickly add in the chopped chili and fresh basil. Lower the heat to medium high and then mix everything together. Cook for 2 minutes or until the basil is slightly wilted.

Add in the rice noodles noodles to the pan. Then over medium heat, pour in the sauce mixture.

Mix well to completely coat the noodles.

Leave the noodles to simmer over medium high heat or until the sauce starts to boil. Mix every 30 seconds or so to prevent the noodles from sticking to the bottom of the pan. The chewy noodles will continue to cook and absorb the flavours from the sauce!

Turn off the heat and feel free to mix in more fresh basil leaves and chopped chili if you’d like!

Serve hot and enjoy!

red bell pepper (small, sliced)

baby corn (sliced)

bok choy (stalks, sliced)

First of all prepare noodles per packet instructions. I cooked mine until soft in a large pan of boiling water.

Once cooked, drain the noodles in a large colander and add few drops of oil.

Toss and place in a wide bowl cover and set aside. These steps will prevent the noodles from drying out.

In a small bowl combine 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon light soy sauce, 2 tablespoons vegetarian oyster sauce, 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon sriracha or chili paste.

Add 1 tablespoon water and mix well.

Chop the vegetables into thin strips and set aside.

Heat oil in a wok or a heavy skillet over high heat, add minced ginger 3 cloves garlic, chili flakes, grated galangal if using, finely chopped spring onion whites. Saute in high heat for 2 minutes.

Add the vegetables and saute in high heat for 2 more minutes.

The vegetables will turn a bit soft. Add salt to taste and mix well.

Now stir in the prepared sauce and mix.

Saute in high heat for 2-3 minutes.

Add noodles and saute in high heat until combined. Add thai basil leaves and scallion greens. Saute just for 10 seconds. Remove from heat.

Serve immediately.

Pad Kee Mao is a traditional Thai dish with ground pork, wide rice noodles and plenty of fresh basil. Doused in a sauce typical of thai cuisine which is perfectly balanced with heat, tanginess and sweetness – Coming from thai chiles, rice wine vinegar and sweet soy sauce.

Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles)

rice vinegar

serrano peppers (or thai chiles)

Tablespoons vegetable oil

½ large onion (thinly sliced)

pork

rice noodles

Thai basil (or regular basil) (roughly torn)

lime (juiced)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Soak the rice noodles in warm tap water for 30 minutes to an hour.

Stir together the fish sauce, soy sauce and vinegar, and set aside.

Roughly chop the garlic and 3 of the chilies together. Chop the other chilie, and set aside.

Preheat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat; when hot, add the oil, the garlic/chile mixture and the onion. Cook, stirring constantly, until the garlic releases its fragrance, about 30 seconds. Add the pork and a splash of the sauce. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon or potato masher, until the pork is cooked through, about 5 minutes.

Drain the noodles and add them with the bell peppers to the pan. Increase the heat to high, and add the sauce. Cook, tossing everything together and separating the noodles, until all ingredients are coated with the sauce and it thickens slightly, about 8-10 minutes.

Toss in the basil, lime juice and the additional chile. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
