Recipe by
Trish yee
Everyone loves Thai basil pork and it is a famous street food of Thailand. For this recipe, I went with my own tweak by using prawns and adding salted eggs. This is probably the easiest Thai food recipe which you can easily replicate at home.

Only use Thai basil and not other types of basil
You can use other proteins such as minced pork or chicken
Soaking the prawns in baking soda, makes the texture firm and gives it the QQ texture
