Thai Basil Chicken

[Intirami]

Dont be affraid to add Ginger and a little sesame oil, get rid of the hot peper flakes and at the asain market, you were there already, purchase the fresh chilies and smash them with your garlic in a pistol, much more flavorful..

[robinstruempler]

my stomach is growling just watching! you are a great teacher!

@robinstruempler

Thank you very much!

This is not thai chicken with basil. It looks good but it is not thai.

[jeepjen34]

Thai basil is not as strong as the Italian/American basil. For this dish you do use a lot of the Thai basil otherwise it wouldn't be the same. Having said that this must be your modified version of the real thing. Still it does look good:)

[carmellac2000]

you guys thai basil or holy basil is waaaay different than basil in appearance texture and taste!

[MrBossNigga]

The problem with the basil is it didn't cook long enough. Basil will shrink like spinach as long as you cook it longer

[potboy321]

Looks good but a little too much basil in my opinion. Basil can go a long way but the recipe is a good one. I will try it.

@potboy321

Thanks!

[tpjl25]

@potboy321 Thai Basil is different. 

[alquiora]

No you can't say that the sweet soy sauce is optional without it the dish is not thai anymore!

[Garrulax]

Good performance, but please avoid accompanying the video with the extraordinarily out-of-the-place music. Just simply annoying and distracting. Thanks.

[jackburton2009]

The basil adds such a great flavor. I don't think you need as much as you added here, but I'm sure it's good.

[freitasex]

Thanks again for commenting!

I think you should subscribe!

[freitasex]

Yes Chef Papercutz is really something.

The reason I measure is incase someone really want to make this and many cooks need to measure.

Thanks for commenting!

[hapyme2]

It looks yummy!

[freitasex]

Oh it is very good, I love asian food!

[JebandStarcher]

[freitasex]

I think I know what you mean!

[wondrwmn99]

Another fine job BF. ;) Looks Yummy!!!

[freitasex]

OMG GF, I hope you are feeling okay.

We left work at 11:30 today, so that I could pick up Lolita earlier, she is currently hiding!

[QueenKattz]

^..^ Lolita , Lolita, Lolita ^..^

Come out and play, everything will be o.k. XXXXXXXXXXXX

[freitasex]

She came home yesterday and of course went into hiding, but by 2AM she woke me up and was ready for some lovin.

I have a couple concerns about her, but she seems fine.

She has not come out of the bedroom yet, but seems happy in there, I just got home from work, and petted her for a few minutes, she like staying on the bed :)

[Cythenthia]

a cat....or your wife? lol xD

[freitasex]

LOL, I love your comments.

Well you noticed I was wearing shorts, damn it! LOL

Lolita, is my adopted cat!

[regamom3]

The thai basil chicken looks absolutely delicious!!!! Your asia recipes are so simple but wonderful. Will it taste ok without sweet soy sauce, should I add some sugar??? Have a great week!!!

[freitasex]

Thanks for your question.

It will be fine without the sweet soy sauce, I would add a teaspoon of sugar, or more if you are doubling the recipe!

[joshstevens76]

This looks VERY easy to make, and VERY yummy!! Thank you for the post.

[freitasex]

Thanks, and it is not as terrible as most high fat food that I make.

[loserashley04]

Thanks for sharing all these videos with us, it really helps the people like me who don't know how to cook anything! Haha.

[freitasex]

I will make a cook out of you if I have my way!

[DeeHong]

Looks really good :D

[freitasex]

Thank you and thanks for answering peoples questions!

[Perroquet51]

That does sound good and looks even better.

[freitasex]

You always have nice comments, not like the smart ass ones that I leave for you!

[Perroquet51]

I like your smartass comments :-)

[victor224]

is the thai basil like those serve with pho noodles?

[freitasex]

Oh yes it is, or very close sister to that basil.

[Praxxus55712]

The blue plate is a beautiful touch. It contrasts so well with the white of the rice and dark green of the basil and the brown sauce. Very attractive presentation!

Oh and of course it looks absolutely delicious. That goes without saying. lol

[freitasex]

I have 13 colors of fiestaware plates.

Thanks for noticing!

[scent007]

this soo delicious .. but can i add some hot sauce to it ??

[DeeHong]

I wouldn't, if you need more heat why not throw in more spicy chili flakes? There's already a mixture cup of sauces.

[freitasex]

Of course hot sauce would be fine, but I do agree with DeeHong, extra chili/red pepper flakes would be a bit better.

[bashen745]

Nice :D

[freitasex]

Nice to hear from you again!

[BradBuddy1212]

that looks really good, my dad would love this whats the difference between regular basil and thai basil?

[DeeHong]

I believe Thai basil has the Lemon zest favor "like lemon grass aroma" when cooked :D

[freitasex]

there is a slight taste difference, not huge.

Make it for your dad!

[QueenKattz]

Yummy, Yummy in my tummy ;)

[freitasex]

Wow, first comment Elaine, Thanks!
