About Pad Drunken Noodles
Drunken Noodles — Pad Kee Mao in Thai — are the spicy, basil-heavy member of the flat-noodle family. The name has nothing to do with alcohol in the dish; the usual explanation is that it is what you want to eat while drinking, or the morning after.
What sets it apart from other stir-fried noodles is holy basil and chilli going into the wok together, so the heat arrives with a peppery, almost aniseed edge rather than as plain burn.
Questions people ask
- Are Drunken Noodles actually made with alcohol?
- No. There is no alcohol in the dish. The Thai name Pad Kee Mao translates roughly as “drunkard’s stir fry”, and it refers to when the dish is eaten rather than what is in it.
- How spicy are Drunken Noodles?
- Our menu marks this dish as spicy — it is one of the hotter noodle dishes we make. We can adjust the heat up or down, so tell us what you want when you order.
- What is in Magnolia Thai’s Drunken Noodles?
- Flat noodles with egg, bell pepper, sweet basil leaf, tomato and onion, served with fresh bean sprouts. You choose the protein.
- Drunken Noodles vs Pad Thai — which should I order?
- Order Drunken Noodles if you want heat and basil. Order Pad Thai if you want the tangy, peanut-topped noodle dish that is not spicy. They share almost nothing beyond being noodles.
