Sawadekap! My husband and I were supposed to go to Bangkok this week but due to the travel restrictions and of course, for our own safety, our lovely trip as cancelled. So I decided to make tribute to make a tribute to our dead itinerary with this amazing yet simple dish! I found this amazing video online and a few articles on Thai Basil Beef recipe. Shout out to Pailin’s Kitchen HotThaiKitchen.com on YouTube for being my guidance to this wonderful dish.
