Drunken noodles

Drunkard noodles (or pad kee mao,[1] less frequently pad ki mao or pad kimao /ˌpæd kiː ˈmaʊ/;[2] Thai: ผัดขี้เมา, RTGS: phat khi mao, [pʰàt kʰîː māw]; is a stir fried noodle dish very similar to phat si-io, but with a slightly different flavor. In Thai, khi mao means drunkard. It is normally made with broad rice noodles, soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, garlic, meat, seafood, chili, fresh black pepper pods and holy basil, which give rise to its distinctive spiciness.[3] "Drunken fried rice" or khao phat khi mao is a similar dish.
