About Pad kee mao

Pad Kee Mao, often called "Drunken Noodles," is a popular Thai stir-fry dish known for its bold flavors and spicy kick. It features wide, flat rice noodles tossed with garlic, chili, fresh basil, and a savory soy-based sauce. Typically, it includes protein options such as chicken, beef, shrimp, or tofu, alongside colorful vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and baby corn. Originating from Thailand, this dish is beloved for its balance of heat and aromatic ingredients. Nutritionally, Pad Kee Mao provides a good dose of protein and vegetables, offering vitamins and minerals, especially when loaded with greens. However, the sodium and calorie content can be high due to the sauce and noodles' starchiness. Opting for lean protein, reduced-sodium sauces, or extra vegetables can make this flavorful dish a healthier option.
