Feeling like something spicy? Feeling like something incredibly satisfying? How about robust flavors? Well, if all this sounds great to you, may I suggest tonight’s meal – Drunken Noodles! I made this recipe with chicken, Thai basil, cilantro, fish sauce, ginger, shallot, scallions, cabbage, carrot and a host of other supporting ingredients. Yes, I used a chicken breast (of course) but thinly sliced beef, prawns, etc work equally well. The challenge of this dish is in the preparation. Have everything ready to go before you start because once you get started, it comes together quickly. I’m hungry, so let’s dive in!

The rest is typical pantry and vegetable crisper fare. So, let’s indulge on a nice relaxing Friday night with a tasty meal without having to order take out, delivery or even leave the house!
