Summary
Drunken Noodles is misnamed twice. There's no booze in the dish, and the original version had no noodles either. The only word in the name that's accurate is the eater. This week, four etymology theories, the noodle-less origin, the holy basil vs Thai basil debate, the wok hei science, the LA pastrami variant — and why we ended up with no booze in the dish. Two cocktails: The Krapow — gin, lime, palm sugar, holy basil, topped with ice-cold lager. And Thai Sabai — Mekhong, lime, Thai basil, blended over pebble ice.
