Sen Yai Pad Kee Mao (Stir fried flat rice noodles with chilies and basil)
Searing hot sticky summer always pains me.
During this time I made a lot of cold noodles dishes and ton of ice cream to cool down the body. They did help tolerate the heat outside well. But sometimes I grew tired of the plain chilled noodles and miss Thai way of keeping up with summer. We, Thais, eat hot spicy foods regardless of seasons and temperature.
