Basil is my favorite herb and maybe a reason I love Thai food so much. The soups, curries, and stir-fries taste amazingly different with just few handfuls of sweet basil. This recipe is super easy and cooks in very little time. Serve with freshly cooked jasmine or basmati rice.

2 tablespoons fish sauce
1/2 fresh lime, juice of
1/2 tablespoon minced ginger
1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2-2 tablespoon sambal oelek chili paste (to taste)
1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional)
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the fish sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, ginger, garlic, sugar, and sambal oelek for the sauce; set aside.
  • The sauce in this is thin from the veggies; if you like a thicker sauce, add 1 tbsp.

  • Add zucchini, mushrooms, and carrots to pan; stir-fry for 3 minutes.
  • Add sauce in bowl to pan; stir to mix well, and continue cooking for 5 minutes, until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  • Stir in herbs and serve.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Chop and measure all ingredients before you start cooking to ensure a smooth and efficient cooking process.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables and herbs will provide the best flavor and texture to your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When stir-frying, it's important to not overcrowd the pan as it will prevent the vegetables from cooking evenly and becoming tender.
  • Use a hot pan: A hot pan will help to sear the vegetables and lock in their flavor.
  • Stir-fry in batches: If you have a lot of vegetables to cook, stir-fry them in batches to prevent overcrowding the pan.
  • Add the sauce at the end: Adding the sauce at the end of the cooking process will help to prevent it from burning.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fried vegetables are best served immediately after they are cooked to preserve their flavor and texture.
