💡 Chef Tips

  • Thai holy basil (kaphrao) is traditional, but Thai sweet basil works well too. Regular Italian basil is too mild.
  • The fried egg on top is non-negotiable — the runny yolk mixes with the spicy chicken and creates magic.
  • For less heat, use only 1-2 chilies and remove the seeds.
