Important Notes
Holy basil (Krapow) is traditional, but Thai basil can be used as a delicious substitute.
Using high heat is crucial for a fast stir-fry that keeps the meat juicy and allows the basil aroma to bloom.
Frying the egg requires more oil than usual to achieve the classic Thai style with bubbly, crispy edges and a runny yolk.
