Spicy Fried Noodles with Shrimp Recipe

Spicy Fried Noodles with Shrimp

This spicy stir-fried ramen noodle dish is perfect as a one-dish lunch or as part of a traditional Thai family meal. We use ordinary ramen noodle soup squares, pan frying them in a delicious garlic and chili sauce, and topping them with a healthy bunch of our Bai Kraprow basil. Here we used some large fresh prawns, but Pad Kraprow Mama can be made with ground pork, sliced chicken or pork, or even canned mackerel. As you'll see, this dish is quite easy to make up at home with just a few ingredients, and the flavor is amazing.
