  4. Heat the oil, add the paste and lime leaves and fry for around 30 seconds

  6. Add fish sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, sugar, and hot water and cook for another minute
  7. Turn off the heat, add the basil leaves, and stir a couple of times

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 (e.g. beef, pork or prawns) can be substituted for the chicken.
