I
don't use enough Thai holy basil in my cooking ~ but I aim to make up
for that omission by cooking this stir fry as much as I can. It's
called pad kra pao gai in
Thai, and according to this
site (from which I also got the recipe), the chicken can be substituted with pork, prawns and even
tofu. Being a stir fry, it is a quick dish to make. The chicken is flavoured with common ingredients, and it is the Thai basil leaves that really give it that extra bite. I have added chunks of boiled potatoes to the dish and probably more basil leaves than the recipe called for. It was a hearty meal.
