How to cook our Pad Kee Mao
Pad Kee Mao is often known as Drunken Noodles – perhaps because people end up drinking a little more than planned to put out the spicy fire in their mouths! Our version has a gentler heat and features gorgeous black charcoal noodles.

Method & Preparation
Pour the oil into a wok over a medium to high heat, add the crushed garlic and chilli and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the cabbage, carrots, broccoli and beans and stir-fry for 1 minute. Finally, add the charcoal noodles along with the soy sauce and stir-fry sauce and continue cooking for 1 minute until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
Dish out on to a plate and serve immediately.
