Nat's Thai chicken basil image

I've been trying to duplicate this dish from my favorite Thai restaurant, and the Mortar and pestle makes the difference here. This taste "exactly" how it does at the restaurant. Remember that the strength of flavours in most of these ingredients varies, with basil, chillis, garlic and even the fish and soya sauce, Taste, taste, taste, and adjust! Sweet, not too spicy yet all the Thai flavours we love.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more chili peppers and basil to give it more flavor.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less chili peppers if you don't like spicy food.
