Who needs takeout when you can make it taste even better at home for half the price? I love Thai food – anything with Thai basil and a little spice and you are speaking my language. Thai isn’t something most people think they can do but it is EASY as can be if you just trust yourself to try!
Less than 10 ingredients and your dinner is served – most of these being staples you should always keep in the pantry or fridge.
Serve this with some egg rolls, dumplings or just over rice or noodles!
