Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles) with ChickenChef Prissana "Fern" Tran of The Florence shares her recipe for pad kee mao, drunken noodles with chicken. "Drunken noodles got their name after a long night of drinking, because you are hungry, and either you or the street food vendors can take whatever is on hand and throw it together for a quick, hearty meal. But it has to be spicy.”
