  This is good with some baby sweetcorn added for the last couple of minutes, and some raw cashew nuts stirred in with the basil at the end. Lovely recipe - a real favourite with everyone.

  Loved it - Tasted beautiful! Changed recipe to chicken breast and only used one chilli. Would use 2 chillies next time and will double up on the sauce (fish sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar).

  I've made this a few times now and always enjoy it. It's really, really tasty and quick and simple to make. I use more chilli (personal taste as I do like thigs spicy) and I double all of the suace ingredients and add some freshly squesed lime to the sauce as well. Yummy, yummy!

  I added some rough chunks of ginger during the shallot / garlic phase. Next time, I also think I am going to put in some lime as well, and reduce the amount of oil. Served in a bowl without and rice / noodles is just lovely.

  Easy to make and lovely flavours. I find the fish sauce very salty so have only used one tbsp. I used one chilli and added green beans and sliced red pepper to the dish. My husband was very impressed and has asked me to make this dish for him again which says a lot haha! p.s make sure to wear disposable gloves when cutting the chillis... a mistake that I made and my hands are still stinging 12 hours later.

  I doubled the quantities as suggested in other posts, however I found this recipe far too salty. Sauce was also very thin.

  I used diced chicken breast but only added after cooking shallots and garlic. Doubled sauce ingredients and used normal basil and it was really nice. Served with noodles tossed in garlic butter.
