Method

  1. 1 Grind garlic and chili peppers in a mortar; "kee mao" means drunk, so the amount of chili peppers must be spicy enough to sober someone up.
  2. 2 Separate the rice noodles at room temperature.
  3. 3 Heat the pan until it smokes, then sauté the garlic and chili for 20 seconds, and stir-fry the squid for 40 seconds and the shrimp for 60 seconds.
  4. 4 Remove the seafood, then add the tortillas and let stand for 90 seconds until the top is browned.
  5. 5 Season the pan with oyster sauce and fish sauce, then add the green beans and stir-fry for 60 seconds.
  6. 6 Add the seafood, turn off the heat, then mix in the handful of basil leaves and serve immediately.
