Tasty dish, easy to prepare, pretty good on calories. I went light on chilies (jalapeño, to Thai on hand) and used ground turkey. A little mild for me, so I added some chili miso sauce to my serving. All in all, worth making again.

This is a common dish that I prepare in our house. My girlfriend is Thai and I am always trying to make Thai dishes as authentic as possible. This is her recipe and I must say it is phenomenal! So Spicy, and the basil really adds to the robust flavor! The egg for me is a must have, as it really compliments the chicken and rice with every bite. If you are a Thai food fan, this is a dish you won't want to pass up!
