I decided to try a new recipe tonight. It’s a pretty basic recipe in Thailand–basil chicken–but I have never tried to make it before. I’m so glad I made the attempt. I think this is one of my new favorites. And now that I’ve been growing basil for the last year or two, I’ve got a huge supply of it.
Anyway, I used about half of the recommended amount of chili peppers and I’m sweating to death. It’s so spicy but it’s incredibly good. The sweet soy sauce caramelized everything, especially the onions. I found the recipe on the net, and it is quite authentic. It really brings me back to Thailand, where variations of this recipe are made everywhere. I’m putting the recipe here… you have to try it 😀
Basil isnt the only thing you’ve been growing………..IS IT?!?!
Wasteeeeed!
Recipe looks interesting … TASTY. Shame hot and spicey doesn’t agree with me anymore since the operation 🙁
I totally couldn’t find basil at the kensington market. 🙁 I am so eager to try cooking that recipe you posted before!
I bought raw shrimp and made garlic shrimp with them. SO AWESOME. I’m only using raw from now on.
