Drunken Noodles

There isn't a drop of alcohol in this dish — the name refers to how much you'll want to drink to combat the heat. I suggest a nice icy beer or sparkling wine - and good company. Enjoy. Adapted from Bon Appétit.
Ingredients
- 2 14-ounce packages 1/4-inch-wide flat rice noodles shopping list
- ~~~~ shopping list
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil shopping list
- 12 garlic cloves, chopped shopping list
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh Thai chiles (Prik ki nu - unless you want some major heat, rib and seed these and wash your hands carefully afterwards) shopping list
- 1 1/2 pounds ground chicken shopping list
- 1/4 cup fish sauce (nam pla or nuoc nam) shopping list
- 1/4 cup black soy sauce (Siew Dam - It is very dark, almost black, in color and thick like light syrup in consistency. Its flavor is sweet, almost like molasses) shopping list
- 1/4 cup Golden Mountain sauce (could substitute maggi seasoning which is very similar in taste or - in a pinch, use light soy sauce) shopping list
- 1 tablespoon sugar shopping list
- 4 large plum tomatoes, each cut into 6 wedges shopping list
- 4 Anaheim chiles or Italian frying peppers (can substitute 2 green bell peppers, about 12 ounces total, cut into strips...but I really like the Italian peppers) shopping list
- 1/2 cup fresh Thai basil leaves (can use regular basil leaves - but the Thai basil is stronger in taste than most sweet basils. It has small leaves, purple stems and a subtle licorice taste) shopping list
How to make it
- Cook noodles in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring frequently. Drain.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat.
- Add garlic and Thai chiles; sauté 30 seconds.
- Add chicken and next 4 ingredients and sauté until chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes.
- Add noodles, tomatoes, and Anaheim chiles; toss to coat.
- Transfer to large platter, sprinkle with basil leaves, and serve.
