Notes

  • For best flavor, use fresh garlic, shallots, and basil.
  • Habanero chiles pack quite a punch! If you're not a fan of super spicy food, start with one chile and taste as you go. Switch them out for jalapenos or skip them entirely if you aren't a fan of heat.
  • The key to this dish is balancing the salty fish sauce, sweet brown sugar, and tangy lime juice. Taste it before serving and adjust it to your liking. 
  • Like most stir-fries, this dish comes together quickly, so prepping all your ingredients and being ready to go is key. Dice the shallots, chop the garlic, and slice the chiles before you start cooking. It makes the process smooth and stress-free.
