How to Make Thai Drunken Noodles

  1. Soak 8 oz rice noodles in warm water for 15 minutes.
  2. While noodles soak, prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp Kikoman soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, and 1 tbsp brown sugar.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  4. Add 1 block (14 oz) firm or extra-firm tofu, cubed, and cook until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Set aside.
  5. Add 2 cloves minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 10 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Add 1-2 red chilies, finely sliced (adjust to your spice preference), 1 cup broccoli florets, and ½ cup sliced onion. Stir-fry for 30 seconds.
  7. Add the prepared soy sauce mixture to the skillet.
  8. Add the soaked noodles, ½ cup bean sprouts, and 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through and noodles are coated in sauce.
  9. Add the cooked tofu back to the skillet and toss to combine.
  10. Serve immediately and garnish with extra basil and sliced chilies, if desired.
