Ingredients

Sauce Ingredients:

1/3 c. soy sauce (or sweet soy sauce)
3 tbsp. oyster sauce
1 tbsp. fish sauce
2 tbsp. granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp. chili paste (sambal oelek)
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 Thai basil leaves, chiffonade

For the noodles:

1 tbsp. sesame oil
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
1/2 lb. chicken breasts, cut into thin slices
1 shallot, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 green onions, cut on the bias into 1/2-inch pieces
1 egg, lightly beaten
8 oz. thick rice noodles, prepared according to the package's directions
10-12 Thai basil leaves, chiffonade

Instructions

For the Sauce

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sugar, chili paste, garlic, and basil. Set aside.

For the Noodles

Place a deep, large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the oils. When the oils are hot, add the chicken. Season with salt and pepper and brown the pieces on both sides.
Add the shallot, garlic, and green onion, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables have softened. Make a well in the center of the pan by pushing the vegetables to the outside of the pan. Add the egg and scramble.
Pour in the sauce and bring the heat up to medium-high. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Add the noodles and continue cooking for 5 minutes or until the chicken and noodles are coated in the thickened sauce.
Remove from the heat and toss with the remaining basil. Serve immediately.

Notes

STORE leftover Thai Drunken Noodles in an airtight container in the fridge; they will remain good for up to 3 days. Freezing is not recommended as it can affect the texture of the noodles and vegetables.

To REHEAT, simply warm them in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, or use a microwave, stirring occasionally to ensure even heating. Adding a small amount of water or additional soy sauce can help restore moisture lost during refrigeration.
