Notes
Ingredient options
Use thinner rice noodles if you can’t find wide ones, and prepare them according to the packet directions.
Regular basil can replace Thai basil. Thai Holy Basil is another option.
Use chicken breast instead of thighs if preferred.
Fish sauce can be replaced with soy sauce. For the soy sauce in the sauce, all-purpose soy sauce can replace both light and dark soy sauce; alternatively, replace the dark soy sauce with more light soy sauce. Don’t use only dark soy sauce.
Adjust the chilli to taste, or use a dollop of chilli paste added with the chicken.
