Looking for more Thai-inspired vegan food? Try my Vegan Pad Thai, Fresh Spring Rolls or Thai Red Curry. These drunken noodles are not all that authentic, since the original contains meat, fish sauce and/or oyster sauce. However, they are incredibly delicious and I know you will love them as much as I do! Consider adding a serving of Marinated Tofu when serving. Or slice up some Vegan Chicken and add it to the stir fry.
How to make drunken noodles
Find the complete recipe with measurements below. I’ve divided the recipe into three easy parts. Then it’s just a matter of putting it all together!
Instant Pot drunken noodles
You can actually make these in your Instant Pot if you’d like. The vegetables will be a bit soggy, instead of crisp, but for a quick meal I don’t mind it! For this version, do not cook the noodles first, they will cook in the Instant Pot. You will sauté your veggies in the Instant Pot, then add some broth or water to de-glaze the pan. Push the dry noodles into the broth/water so they are mostly covered, and cook at high pressure for 3 minutes. Do a quick release and stir everything well. Add the green onions, basil and baby corn and cover for another few minutes. Serve and enjoy!
Recipe variations and substitutions
Are drunken noodles spicy?
Typically drunken noodles are very spicy. If you’re serving them to kids or adults who are sensitive to spice, add less hot sauce. You can always serve it on the side to make everyone happy. For more quick and easy noodle dishes, make sure to check out my Thai Peanut Noodles and Teriyaki Noodles.
