Notes
Soy Sauce: You can substitute dark soy sauce with more light soy sauce. However, don’t use all dark soy sauce as it will be too strong.
Spicy Drunken Noodles: This noodle dish comes spicy as it is, but depending on the spice level you like, you can add Thai chilis or a tsp of chili paste along with green chillies for an extra kick of heat.
Other Basils: You can substitute Thai basil with other types of basil, however please note that Thai basil is best for for cooking as it will retain its flavor better.
Protein: You can switch chicken out for other proteins such as pork, shrimp, or beef.
