This recipe is AMAZING! The flavors are so vibrant. Can’t wait to make it again!
This looks way easy. I might try it. But what can use instead of red chili? I don’t like spicy.
You can try using bell peppers or even sugar snap peas instead of red chili! They won’t add spice but will keep some crunch. Enjoy your cooking!
Thai basil??? What is that? I just used regular basil and it was still good. Lol!
Regular basil works too, but true Thai basil has a unique flavor! Still, glad you enjoyed it! 🤗
Nah, Thai basil is way different! Its got that nice anise flavor. But hey, if you liked it, who am I to judge? 😂
Just made this for my husband. He loved it!!! Thanks, now I am a chef!
Looks good but sounds a bit spicy for me. Do you think it could be less hot with more sugar?
That’s awesome! Glad to hear your husband loved it! You must be a natural chef! 🍽️
I hate fish sauce. Can I use ketchup instead? 🤔
Looks good, but isn’t this just stir fry? Not really Thai, in my opinion.
Quick and easy! My kids loved it. We’ll definitely add it to our dinner rotation.
I followed the recipe but found it a bit too salty. Maybe less soy sauce next time?
Soo good!!! First time cooking chicken and it tasted restaurant quality! 😍
