Best Darn Drunken Noodles

Jun 22, 2021 | Entrees, Recipes | 0 comments

These spicy Thai noodles are better than takeout. Inspired by a trip to Thailand I haven’t taken yet these noodles make you feel exotic yet nourished and satisfied.

I like adding lots of veggies to mine, but customize it with whatever veggies you like.

Ingredients

  • 7 oz/ 200g dried rice noodles
  • 3 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 Thai chillies, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 1/2 onion, sliced
  • 2-3 chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tsp fish sauce
  • 2 green onions, cut into pieces
  • 1 cup Thai or Holy basil leaves
  • 3 Tbs oyster sauce
  • 3 Tbs soy sauce
  • 2 tsp sugar or honey
  • 1 Tbs water

Instructions

  1. Cook noodles per package directions
  2. Mix oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar and water in a small bowl
  3. Heat wok or large skillet over high heat
  4. add a drizzle of sesame oil or spray with cooking spray. Add garlic and chili and cook for 10 seconds. Don’t inhale, the chili will make you cough!
  5. Add onion and cook for another minute
  6. Add chicken and fish sauce. Cook about 2 minutes.
  7. Add green onions, noodles, and sauce. Cook for 1 minute until the sauce reduces and coats the noodles.
  8. Remove from heat and immediately add basil. Toss until just wilted and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Athlete Benefits

  • Soy sauce is a rich source of electrolytes and I often recommend it to athletes to use as part of a salt load the day before a hot race.
  • Rice noodles are gluten free and are an easy, low residue carbohydrate source to replenish glycogen lost during training.
  • Chicken thighs are higher in iron and zinc to promote a healthy immune system and red blood cells
  • Onions contain antioxidants and compounds that help reduce inflammation, which increases from training

"As a triathlete, I faced a unique case of REDs, and Dr. Roby guided me through recovery with confidence, even when it felt like a rollercoaster. I feel a million times better today than when I started and am especially grateful for how she helped me learn to work with my physiology rather than fight against it."
