A Thai Basil Fried Rice I created...

Which Thia basil did you use, holy basil, lemon basil or horapa?

Horapa is sold as “Thia basil” in the American market, it has purple stems and smells like anise.

The one labeled as Thai Basil.

The tag on my plant said "Siam Queen" beneath it.

I just keep a potted plant in my house so I have fresh basil. Though it dies every year.


Traditionally this dish is cooked with oyster sauce, but I'm not a fan, so I kind of created this pseudo recipe for my liking.

More than likely that's horapa.

I cook traditional Thai. I also cook variations of traditional dishes, fusion and create Thai style dishes.

Take a look at the peanut butter soup recipe I posted, it's a combination of Thom kha gai soup and satay sauce.
