(Not so) spicy Thai noodles

The lovely thing about being the chef in your own kitchen is that you determine everything. Not a fan of spicy food? Omit the red pepper. Are you a fan of some sweat on your forehead while eating? Add one dried Thai chili pepper or chili flakes to the noodles.

Most of the ingredients of this simplified version of the well-known Pad Kee Mao (Thai drunken noodles) are probably already in one of your kitchen drawers. This dish is quickly made and a perfect starting point for a delicious meal!
