Wide noodles, basil and chilies, seared beef.

25 min totalMakes 4 plates
High-proteinMethod in Pro

Drunken noodles are loud: garlic, chilies, a big handful of basil and a salty-sweet sauce. Flank steak cut thin sears in a minute and stays tender. Add the basil at the very end so it wilts but stays fragrant.

Tips

  • Thai basil has an anise note; regular basil works but tastes gentler.
  • Seed the chilies if you want the flavour without as much heat.
