These noodles pack a ton of umami from anchovies and oyster sauce, and have a beautiful smokiness from the dried chilies. A touch of Thai basil adds just the right amount of freshness. Serve it on its own, or as a side to some pan fried fish or chicken! This recipe serves 2 as a side, but 1 generous portion if serving on its own.
