Spicy Thai wide rice noodles with chicken, basil, and chiles. Called drunken because it cures hangovers.
Despite the name, drunken noodles don't contain alcohol; the name may refer to curing hangovers. Holy basil (krapao) is more traditional; Thai basil substitutes well.
Adjust heat with more or fewer chiles. Cherry tomatoes work if regular tomatoes aren't ripe.
