This is a quick and easy Drunken Noodles recipe.  Drunken Noodles normally have meat or seafood included, however I chose to go vegetarian with this recipe for the Lenten season.  Feel free to add a protein if you like.

Vegetarian Drunken Noodles Pin

Drunken Noodles originated in Thailand.  It's not clear why they are called Drunken.  Some say it was because when the Chinese made them they used rice wine in the recipe.  Others say that it is because the chef that first made them was drunk and yet another theory is that these noodles are better if you have been drinking.  

I think they are pretty good whether you are sipping wine, a cocktail, water or a soft drink.  I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do.
