    I made 1/3 of this recipe tonight and very much enjoyed it. Otherwise, I made it as written, though I believe my basil was Thai, not holy, and I cooked my crispy eggs separately in far less oil than the recipe prescribed (using Julia Turshen’s crispy egg method from Small Victories - worked great!) I didn’t make the recommended chile fish sauce to serve with it, and ended up using a little sweet chile sauce instead, which nicely cut the richness of the runny yolk and the salt of the meat. I think the cucumber relish also would have been great with it, though. Maybe next time!

    Nice simple dinner. You will likely need to add stock as it is a little dry.

    Savory and delicious, a perfect easy dinner with steamed rice and sliced cucumbers

    Ground chicken just doesn't have enough flavor to stand up to the sauce ingredients. This is similar to Stir-fried minced beef with chillies and holy basil (Neua pat bai grapao) from Thai Street Food but I like that much better.
