I’ve made this a hundred times, and I’m pretty sure this recipe is perfect. Try it out, it’s easy and the prep is quick. I pick my favorite vegetables at the farmer’s market every week and usually go for zucchini and mushrooms, but almost anything will work. Chicken, tofu or the meat of your choice can be added as well, I often use extra vegetables to replace the protein. I prefer the consistency of soup but if you want it a little thicker add 1 Tbsp cornstarch and 1 Tbsp water to create a paste and add it in. With the rice though, it shouldn’t need a thickener. Enjoy it!

I definitely prefer thai basil over a basic italian sweet basil. Unlike the sweet basil, thai basil has purple flower buds which are surprisingly edible. Between the bright green leaves and purple flowers, an anise aroma appears to compliment the obvious sweetness of the basil and adds a definite oomph to any dish! Thai basil, also known as holy basil is used in Thai, Vietnamese, Laotian cuisine, specifically curry and seafood dishes. Personally, I replace sweet basil with thai basil in classic dishes like a marinara sauce and grilled chicken with lemon and basil. I have never seen thai basil in grocery stores, I grab mine every Wednesday at the Civic Center Farmer’s Market in San Francisco!
Civic Center Farmer’s Market is on Market between 7th & 8th Ave. If you go around 3 almost everything becomes a dollar!
