6. Add fish sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, sugar, and hot water and cook for another minute

Notes

• The Thai holy basil is a key ingredient - other varieties of basil wont produce the same flavour. If you can't get Thai holy basil then use Thai sweet basil as the closest substitute. Other meats (उदा.. beef, pork or prawns) can be substituted for the chicken.
