johnny’s drunken thai noodles

I remember eating these noodles after spending long days of skiing when I was younger. The warm, spicy noodles with delicious veggies and meats were the perfect way to cap off a long tiring day of shredding the slopes. As I grew older, these noodles turned into a favorite asian night meal, and comfort food. They are named “Johnny’s Drunken Thai Noodles” after my mom’s best friends dad who was the main reason, that I got into cooking. Johnny let me be his sous chef when I was younger and that inspire me to continue cooking, years later. The spice level of these noodles can be adjusted higher or lower based on your preference which is a plus. Make sure your fish sauce, chili paste, and soy sauce are gluten-free and you are good to go!
