Ingredients

  • Wide Rice Noodles (Sen Yai)
  • Beef (thinly sliced, such as sirloin, flank steak, or tenderloin)
  • Holy Basil (Grapow)
  • Bird's Eye Chilies (Prik Kee Noo)
  • Garlic (loads of fresh)
  • Chinese Broccoli (Gai Lan)
  • Bell Peppers (sliced red or green)
  • Egg (1)
  • Dark Soy Sauce
  • Light Soy Sauce
  • Oyster Sauce
  • Fish Sauce
  • Palm Sugar
  • White Pepper
  • Cooking Oil (1-2 tablespoons)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Noodles: If using fresh wide rice noodles, gently separate them by hand to prevent clumping. If using dried, follow package instructions to rehydrate until al dente and pliable. Once softened, toss them lightly with a tiny bit of oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
  2. Slice and Marinate the Beef: Thinly slice your beef against the grain. In a small bowl, toss the beef with a teaspoon of light soy sauce and a pinch of white pepper. This quick marinade helps tenderize the beef and infuse it with flavor.
  3. Whip Up the Drunken Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, palm sugar, and white pepper. Taste and adjust to your preference.
  4. Crush the Aromatics: In a mortar and pestle, or using the flat side of a knife, lightly smash the bird's eye chilies and garlic together.
  5. Heat Your Wok/Pan: Place your wok or large heavy-bottomed pan over very high heat. Add 1-2 tablespoons of cooking oil and let it get smoking hot.
  6. Stir-fry Aromatics and Beef: Add the crushed garlic and chilies to the hot wok. Stir-fry for about 15-20 seconds until fragrant. Immediately add the marinated beef and spread it in a single layer. Let it sear for about 30 seconds before tossing, then continue to stir-fry until the beef is just cooked through and slightly browned.
  7. Cook the Vegetables: Add another splash of oil to the hot wok if needed. Add the Chinese broccoli and bell peppers. Stir-fry vigorously for 1-2 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
  8. Add Noodles and Egg: Push the vegetables to one side of the wok, creating a clear space. Crack the egg directly into this space and quickly scramble it. Now, add the wide rice noodles to the wok. Pour the prepared Drunken Noodles sauce evenly over the noodles and vegetables.
  9. The Final Toss: Using two spatulas or tongs, rapidly toss and stir-fry everything together for about 1-2 minutes.
  10. Introduce the Holy Basil: Turn off the heat. Immediately add the holy basil leaves to the wok and toss for just a few seconds.
  11. Serve Immediately: Transfer your Street Style Thai Drunken Noodles directly to plates and serve hot.
