Easy recipe and so flavorful. Fresh noodles made the difference and easy! Was a hit. Made it with beef because thats what we had on hand. Great way to use up stir fry veggies too.
Kids and picky husband loved it.

Easy, adaptable (protein and veg choices) and really delicious. This will join my all-time favourite Thai basil chicken for weeknight yumminess.

In reply to Elizabeth. Jalapeno would work. For a very spicy dish, I would use a bit of serrano but definitely only a few slices and no seeds.

Is there a substitute for Thai chilis?

In reply to Rose Bugayong. Yes you can! The noodles will have a lighter color but it doesn't affect the taste much.

In reply to Candice. It is possible to replace it with soy sauce, but the flavor will change quite a lot and you will need to add sugar to make balance out the saltiness. I highly recommend trying out the vegetarian oyster sauce. It is made with mushrooms and does not contain shellfish. It tastes really close to the regular oyster sauce and it's the best replacement. You can find them in Chinese grocery stores and many other Asian grocery stores such as H Mart. It is usually sold with other oyster sauce and is packaged in a green bottle. If you can find the vegetarian oyster sauce, I would add a bit more of it and skip the fish sauce.

I can’t eat shellfish sauces, can I just use more soy sauce in its place, or do you have a different recommendation?

Adding to the family favourites! I added more chicken and added carrots (as we don’t like baby corn). Makes a great alternative to ordering taleaways.

In reply to Madeline. You can find it at Thai grocery stores and some of the bigger Asian market or at Chinatown. It's usually in refrigerated session and maybe a bit hidden. It is a very special ingredient and I think it's quite hard to find. You can always use dried rice noodles. Some people make fresh wide rice noodles at home.
