Notes

  1. If you can grab some Thai basil at the farmer's Market or Asian Market, they are more flavorful. Taste amazing in stews and soups.
  2. If using carrots, blanch (par-cook ) before adding to the pan.
  3. Garlic and ginger should be cooked on low heat, to prevent it from burning.
  4. Make sure the sauce is mixed  thoroughly,  until smooth to prevent clumping when it's added to the skillet.
  5. Please keep in mind that nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on products used.
