Drunken Noodles

So every time I go to a Thai restaurant, I invariably order this dish. It is delicious! I decided that I had to learn how to make this myself. I generally knew the ingredients that I wanted with the noodles, but I had absolutely no idea what the spices/sauce were, so with a bit of help from the internet this is what I came out with.

It was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend, if you like this sort of thing.

The Noodles
~1 lbs Rice Noodles (I used a 13oz package)

Soak the noodles for ~45 minutes in hot tap water, until they are soft, but still al dente to the taste.

The Sauce
6 tbsp oyster sauce
3 tbsp rice vinegar
2-3 tbsp fish sauce
3 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp ground chili pepper
Juice from one Lime (About 3 tbsp)

Mix ingredients in a bowl, save for later.

Everything Else
1-2 eggs (if you like egg, add 2, if not so much, stick with 1)
1 green pepper
1 red pepper
1 white onion
1 shallot (smallish is fine)
3 cloves garlic
3 thai chili or jalapeno peppers
Fresh Basil (Garnish)
1 lbs chicken (two breasts works adequately)
Alternatively, one could use pork or shrimp, or some combination of the three.

Cut both ends off the onion, and then cut it in half lengthwise. Then slice from the outside towards the middle, creating strips (they should be crescent shape if done correctly). Dice the garlic and shallot, add all three to a bowl and set aside.

Chop red/green peppers into long thin strips and set aside.

Chop the hot peppers, be careful! My nose still hurts from when I accidently touched it... 4 hours later. Set these aside as well.

Slice the chicken breasts into cutlets, then slice into thin slices (not long strips!). You want them to be able to cook quickly and be relatively bite size.

Scramble both eggs in a separate bowl, save for later, don't add milk!

Pour a few tablespoons of vegetable oil into a wok or very large frying pan and heat. Add the onion/shallot/garlic mixture and cook until the onion begins to turn translucent. Then add the green/red peppers slices and cook for a minute or two. Next add the chicken and cook thoroughly. At this point scrape all of the stuff in your wok to the side, and pour in the eggs that you scrambled. Let the eggs cook then mix everything in the wok together. At this point you should toss in the spicy peppers and continue cooking for a couple of minutes.

Finally when everything looks acceptably cooked and hot, add the noodles to the wok (obviously drain the water off first). Pour the sauce ontop of the noodles, and begin mixing everything together. Cook until the noodles become soft and the sauce is sticking to everything.

Chop some of the fresh basil and toss it in as a quick garnish when serving!
