[tttisanttt]

Aunchalee, u r awesomeness personified! :D

[maxtull21]

Aunchalee, I'm Filipino though, but I thank you for the recipe now that my family and I really enjoy the recipe, thank you.

[mysambamusic]

Very, very good. I didn't have have black soy sauce so I added a little more regular soy and a pinch of sugar. The secret to this recipe is have lots of fresh basil leaves. I had to pick my poor plant clean, and the store wash out of fresh basil. I just got by. The basil is a fabulous flavor in this dish. Thank you for sharing, this is a real keeper :-))

You should go to thailand

This not true thai food

You should search "ผัดกระเพรา"

Ps. I am thai people i dislike this menu

[beno2rasho]

I made this with tofu and it came out pretty good. I made it without the chillis being not everyone likes spicy. But next time I will definitely add some, thanks for sharing your recipes.

[KerrBear01]

This was SO GOOD!!! I like it even better than when I order it at my favorite Thai restaurant. My husband even loves it and normally doesn't like Thai food! I can't wait to try your other recipes! :)

[strungoutontech]

Wow youtube is so full of douche bags. But I guess with this many viewers...complaining about resolution of video on youtube and making stupid comments. This girl is making excellent informative videos that are great quality. Shut up forever you simple clowns.

[1babymorales]

Amazing, I like your delicasy as a cook. Your food is very appeticing, I could say that my husband is looking forward to taste one of your recepies. Hopefully I get it right....I will probably bother you for some tips later on, Hope you don't mind. 

[esychat]

อยากกิน กะเพราทะเลราดข้าว+ ไข่ดาวไข่แดงสุก มากกว่าอ่ะครับ...อิอิ

[mkultra2300]

I made this the other night and it was awesome. It was even better than what I've gotten from restaurants and this is one of my favorite Thai dishes. Didn't know it was such a simple dish to make well. Thanks for the great recipe and video

[exxtreem23]

She only tried the rice? Im sure the meat tasted horrible.

[Kunstmassage]

a half spoon ricevinegar as a additional add is ok? Will make it any differents?

[jstyledipset]

that looks good!! the only thing i don't like is the low resolution video

[jstyledipset]

Thank for taking the time so share your wonderful talent with us..I love Thai and Lao food...I will try this dish TOMORROW...Keep up the good work and sharing your talent with us....Look forward to more recipes from you.....

[01Saipan]

I tried this recipe and it was AMAZZZZING!!!

[Berrymore84]

lol don't forget to add fried egg too hahaha...

[jen2c]

Oh dear, I'm so glad I found your site, I've been miserable as it's hard to figure what to cook for dinner everyday and with your recipes, so easy and quick, I will have more time left for myself, thanks so much, big hug!

[Berrymore84]

@jen2c i found out it's a bit tastier to combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sugar and a dash of white pepper powder. however if you use dark soy sauce then you can omit the sugar. sometimes i add some ginger slices too :)

[jen2c]

@Berrymore84 Wow great, thanks so much, I will try that next time! =)

[Berrymore84]

@jen2c ur welcome. i use 2 kinds of chilies - green bird's eye and big red chillies so it adds more color to the dish. gud luck!

[Berrymore84]

@jen2c oh yeah another thing you might wanna try is that you can pound the garlic + chilies in a mortar for a more flavorful taste!!

[mrjimbeam2009]

best looking thai food on youtube

[Tailback]

Thai basil chicken is my 2nd favorite thai dish. I use vegetarian oyster sauce because my wife is allergic to seafood. (oyster sauce would put her in the hospital) I cube the chicken and pulse it in the food processor to get an almost ground chicken consistency.

Thank you again for your videos, they are very well done and informative.

[riasia1805]

This receipe was really good. I tried at home and it came out fantastic. can you pl show how to make Tom Yum soup and Thai chicken in Red gravy ??

Your receipies are very simple to understand and the way you explain is really helpful Keep up the good work !!!

[dakaraabbccdd]

ka pao gai!!! ;-D

[dctrex]

Niiice! Thank you!

[alquiora]

I've seen many who used fish sauce in the dish, will it be better to use both fish sauce and soy sauce?... Or.... just soy sauce or fish sauce?

[jonnagap]

Hi Aunchalee I went to Thailand with my husband for our honeymoon and fell in love with the food. Unfortunately there are no Thai restaurants where I live. Thank you so much for this video. Now i can finally try to cook Thai food. U made it seem so easy and I love how u presented it with perfect measurements. Thank u so much.

[ShiningSilverwind]

I'm learning to play that song in the background!

[ErikPaulsonFan]

Thank you for this. I am moving into a new apartment (without roommates!) in a few weeks, and I plan to start cooking for myself. This will be my first meal. Looking forward to it. I love basil chicken. Thank you!

[orthocarpuspurpurea]

I moved to Yuma Arizona where are no Thai restaurants! Thai is my favorite, but could never cook it properly. I made this dish and the first time I made it, it came out great. I added some coconut milk to my rice for some coconut jasmine rice! My whole family loves it! That's for help me bring the wonderful food of Thailand to Yuma!

[normski1930z]

this isnt holy basil she is putting in its sweet basil.....holy basil is a member of the mint family and tastes nothing like sweet basil...

[RamannyaTV]

[kunjidee]

What a great video I really enjoyed watching this, and the hostess is so sweet!

[tonyretarda]

Nice ! I love Basil chicken:)

[mordred612]

This is my favorite. Aroi.

[Tomstered]

stupiddd thai people dont know how to cook

[Ligamenttube]

Sawatdee Khrab Aunchalee,

I love your videos! Your recipes always come out great!

I wish you would keep posting more videos, they are excellent. Are you OK? You seem to have slowed down a lot since you posted these videos.

Choke Dii!

[dredlocksoldier1]

i made this exactly the way she made it and it tasted awesome

[tigawoods]

I made this dish, but made it stir fried rice style. My wife is Thai and was like "it doesn't look Thai" then I showed her this vid and she

said now that's Thai!

[berlinboxster]

for the traditional pad krapow kai, the fish suace is used instead of soy sauce (but the smell will be stronger). onion is not stired fry first with garlic and chile, it is added after chicken and all the sauces is cooked, and just before the holy basil leaves. the traditional and authentic cooking of this dish has no alcohol and sesame oil. but it's up to your taste to add. it just makes it not authentic.

[berlinboxster]

this sounds too salty. for 1 chicken breast portion like this, I will put max. 1 tbs of oyster sauce, 1/2 tbs of soy sauce, 1 ts or none of dark soy sauce, and a trick is to add 1/2 ts of sugar to harmonize the taste. two important tricks for successful thai cooking are 1) you have to know the main taste of the dish you wanna cook, for this one is salty (but not overly) 2) make the taste mild first and gradually add the sauce to the main taste and your personal liking. have fun cooking !!

GIVE US MORE

[mrloy99]

What happened to the rest of those delicious Thai recipies that we were promised???I really enjoyed what you have done so far but your forum seems to have died also...I hope not you too.Chuk Dee.

[googo151]

too cute!

[marilou0511]

Good afternoon from the Windy City, Chicago, IL. I made this recipe last night. It was delicious except we found it too salty. I used AYSC79's idea about marinating the chicken but used 2 TBSP oyster sauce as marinate while chopping the other ingredients. I'll definitely will cook this again but will cut the measurements for oyster sauce & soy sauce in half. Thank you for your video which helped me try Thai cooking at home for the first time!

[aysc79]

Um...

may i suggest u a few things here to improve ur dish?

1 use a little cornstarch,salt & sugar to marinate the chicken & let it sit for 30 mins( ck will taste better & won't be tough )

2 cook the ck first ,then drain out the excessive oil

3 make sure to stir fry the garlic,onion & chili till golden brown to bring out the flavor b4 put back the ck

[aysc79]

4 use cooking wine instead of water

5 add 1 tea sp of sugar ( soy sauce & oyster sauce together make it too salty )

6 add in the basil & a little sesame oil



try it ,

definitely will taste better

[marilou0511]

Hello from the Windy City, Chicago IL! I'm planning on cooking Basil Chicken for the first time. I liked this video presentation. Interested about AYSC79 comments. Are you (aysc79) Thai? and/or your comments based on making this dish several times before?

[aysc79]

Well, watched this video clip only by chance, and after watching it, i couldn't help & wrote down a few thoughts about it..

I once worked as head chef for some seafood restaurants in the southern TX

For some good reasons ,now i've changed my career,moved to a different field

but i still enjoy cooking & eating

I am Chinese ,used to have a beautiful Thai girl friend ,that's why i also fond of Thai food..Thai boxing..etc

actually i like almost everything that is link to the Thai , lol

[deadbeatdad]

Aunchalee- Why don't you cook the onions first to brown and carmelize them a bit? Don't most dishes ask that onions be thoroughly cooked first and then the meat added because it cooks so quickly. It seems to me in the extra time it takes to cook the onion, the chicken will get rubbery.

[jimjimjimjim1234]

Where do you find thai chili peppers?

[deadbeatdad]

Any asian market and many whole food markets will have them.

[OreoCookieOreo]

Wow.. very clear instructions. This is awesome. I am new to cooking and I love it when people give clear instructions. Thank you so much. I'm going to your site now.

[ThaiFoodcast]

It is ... Thanks! :)

[PlazaMoon]

@ThaiFoodcast Nice cooking demonstration. Thai food is probably my favourite food of all. I was going to cook a prawn jungle curry tonight, but I think I might cook your basil chicken dish after watching this!

[maxtull21]

@ThaiFoodcast I really thank you for the recipe that I make it commonly at home now with my family.

[madmitchdog]

sawasdee kap! Thanks for the video ! looks delicious! bet it tastes aroi mak ! yum!yum!

[ThaiFoodcast]

Thank you very much for the compliment. you are very sweet. You make me very happy.

[toprasert]

Aunchalee, My husband is Thai and thanks to you I can easily make great Thai Food!

Teri

[ThaiFoodcast]

Thanks for your comment. I'm glad that you find it helpful.

[Shanx21]

I was just taking care to not do a mess with the hot peppers. Last time, I had bad experience with the seeds! these things burn! I scratch my nose once, a bad thing to do! Otherwise, the rest was all fine! Please do more recipes!

[ThaiFoodcast]

I once rubbed my eye after cutting Chili, it burned like crazy, but they taste so good.

We're just starting out right now, but there are many more recipes on the way.

[fightnight79]

@ThaiFoodcast lol. I was handling canned jalapeno peppers once and I went to take a quick leak and burnt my balls! Never again lol.

[Shanx21]

thank you Aunchalee. I just tried this recipe. It tasted so good! :)

[ThaiFoodcast]

You're welcome! I'm glad you liked it! Did you find it easy to make?
