Notes
Add Bacon or Pork Belly: For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding crispy bacon or succulent pork belly to your drunken noodles. Simply cook the bacon or pork belly separately until crispy, then crumble it over the noodles before serving.
Add Zing with Lime Wedges: Lime wedges provide a refreshing and tangy element to balance the flavors in the dish. Squeeze a tablespoon of fresh lime juice over the cooked noodles or serve the dish with lime wedges on the side.
Experiment with Veggies: Feel free to get creative and experiment with a variety of veggies. Try adding broccoli, snap peas, mushrooms, or baby corn for added texture and color.
