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
  • ~~~~
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 12 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 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)
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground chicken
  • 1/4 cup fish sauce (nam pla or nuoc nam)
  • 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)
  • 1/4 cup Golden Mountain sauce (could substitute Maggi Seasoning which is very similar in taste or - in a pinch, use light soy sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 4 large plum tomatoes, each cut into 6 wedges
  • 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)
  • 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)

Directions
  1. Cook noodles in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring frequently. Drain.
  2. Meanwhile, heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat.
  3. Add garlic and Thai chiles; sauté 30 seconds.
  4. Add chicken and next 4 ingredients and sauté until chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes.
  5. Add noodles, tomatoes, and Anaheim chiles; toss to coat.
  6. Transfer to large platter, sprinkle with basil leaves, and serve.

Vickie, you have been very busy! I can't wait to try this. I love the spice in this one. This will be fun to try. Thanks and another 5 to you.


This is one of my favorite Thai dishes! I like to make Thai food at home, and was curious as to the Golden Mountain sauce.

In my Internet search for the ingredient, I stumbled upon these delightful videos; http://importfood.com/vendor_video/thai_street_vendor_videos.html . I am hopeful that they are as enjoyable to you, as they were me :)

And thank you for this truly authentic recipe! :) High 5
