Wide rice noodles, vegetables, and a spicy Thai basil sauce come together in this frozen meal inspired by pad kee mao. Flat and chewy, the noodles are built to carry the sauce rather than soak it up. Thai basil brings a peppery, slightly anise-like note, while the sauce leans soy-based with chili heat. In Saffron Road's frozen lineup, it sits closer to the brand's bolder Thai-style bowls than to milder pad thai or coconut curry options. Like the traditional dish it's based on, it doesn't contain alcohol despite the name suggesting otherwise.
