To prepare, you will typically boil the included rice noodles until they are tender. While the noodles cook, you can prepare your desired additions, such as sliced meats, tofu, or vegetables. Once the noodles are drained, they are combined with the sauce packet and your chosen ingredients. Stir-frying everything together briefly helps to meld the flavors and ensure the noodles are well-coated in the savory sauce. The goal is to achieve a dish that is both satisfyingly spicy and deeply flavorful.
How it differs from similar foods
This kit differs from making drunken noodles from scratch by pre-portioning the sauce and noodles. It simplifies the process by eliminating the need to measure out individual sauce components like soy sauce, fish sauce, or chili paste, and often uses a specific type of wide rice noodle.
