Thai Beef Drunken Noodles

Thai Beef Drunken Noodles

My son made these Thai Beef Drunken Noodles pretty much from start to finish.

He’s only 11, so if he can do it… so can you đŸ™‚

My sister in law, Sumintra, is from Thailand and helped me write this recipe.

My son followed it step by step and he served us all an amazing dinner!

We grew Thai basil in our garden just for this dish, but please do not sub Italian basil if you can’t find the Thai basil.

Just leave it out and your noodles will still be amazing!

How to Make Thai Beef Drunken Noodles

Before we begin, I’ll say there is no alcohol in drunken noodles.

They are more named for these being a very popular food to make in Thailand when you’ve had a bit too much fun đŸ˜‰

You’ll need some steak, rice noodles, soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, Thai basil, sugar, water, garlic, eggs, an onion, and either Thai chilis or serrano peppers.

Soak the noodles according to the package directions.

And combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and water in a bowl.

ingredients for the noodles

The oil we used was vegetable oil.

Set a wok over medium heat and add some oil along with 3 eggs.

eggs in a wok

Crack the eggs into the wok and then scramble them with a spatula.

You may notice my son has a slight black eye, it’s so fun being a boy mom of a football loving kid who totally keeps me on my toes every second đŸ™‚

scrambling eggs in the wok

Remove the eggs once they are done how you like, and add more oil to the wok.

Then add in the diced onion, chili peppers, and garlic.

Cook two to three minutes, stirring a few times.

Then set the veggies aside with the eggs.

Crank the heat to medium high and add a pound of sliced steak.

Just about any cut will do, I had strip steak.

adding the steak to the wok

Cook the steak just about 2 minutes.

As you can see, my son has his sauce, veggies, eggs, and soaked noodles all ready to go to add to the wok.

stir frying the steak

Add the sauce, noodles, veggies, and eggs to the wok with the steak and stir for a few minutes.

Taste and see if more water or soy sauce is needed.

Then add the Thai basil leaves, stir and serve right away.

Add some chopped peanuts, sriracha, sesame seeds, and/or peanuts to your Thai Beef Drunken Noodles!

We even set out some yum yum sauce for a little tang.

Spice freaks live in our house, so we piled on the sriracha đŸ™‚
