Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    I must admit I tweaked this recipe a bit as I couldn't find betel. I used about 4 oz of Thai basil which is significantly less than the betel because the basil is more pungent. It was a great combo yielding great stir fry flavour. Unless you hve several other dishes this really just serves two but be careful about doubling though since your beef may boiled steam if it is too crowded. I would also suggest increasing the amount of sauce, but majored sure you retain the same alance as it is a nice little sauce.
