IF YOU’RE LIKE ME AND LOVE THAI FOOD, THIS ONE IS FOR YOU.
Thai food has a wonderful way of incorporating different flavor profiles while making them sing together! This dish is slightly sweet, salty, spicy with that touch of umami.
Another pro-tip: frozen shrimps are underrated! They are a breeze to defrost and take minutes to cook. If you’re not a fan of shrimp, you could always do this with chicken, beef, tempeh, etc. Whatever works for you!
For the vegetables, you can use whatever you want. This is a perfect fridge forage dish! If you don't have Thai basil, a combination of Italian basil and mint will give a similar taste profile.
