Here come another delicious and healthy Thai dish. This dish is considered one of the most common Thai food (that sale in Thailand) You might see this menu at some of your local Thai Restaurants, but what they make in overseas (here!) are so much different from what they make or what familiar to Thai people.

I went to one of Thai Restaurant in Brisbane and ordered this dish. What I've got was minced beef stir fried with carrot, cucumber, some gailan (green chinese veggies) and about only 1-2 basil leafs.! I complaint to the chef and asked if they could make me the authentic version of Minced beef stir fry with basil leafs. you know what they've said to me? They said yes they could, if I pay extra. They said the basil leaf is expensive here! I'm like What????? There's basil leaf at every super market. They said it's not the same type. So I went "at least it's much better than carrot and cucumber..!

So to me, if they can't make it as close to the authentic, don't name it like it's an authentic food.. There is no such thing like I have to pay extra for the authentic version of the food I've ordered. It's too funny.

Alright, no more complaining.If I want to eat it right, I have to make it, ..right?

There you go, this's the right version of the dish. Let's have a look how much basil leafs that Real Thai people put in the dish before they call it "Minced beef stir fry with basil leafs (and mushroom)" not only 2 or 3 leafs..that's just not right.

Ingredients

1. Minced beef 300g (you can change the meat to be whatever you like such as striped chicken or pork or even prawns)
2. Big bunch of Sweet or Green Basil (Funny enough but for this dish, they don't use Thai Basil, so don't pick it)
3. Minced Garlic - 3 tb spoons (you can crush garlic freshly or get a jar of minced garlic, the final taste will be the same) (Sorry, I forgot to put a pic. of minced garlic but it's one of the key ingredients so we need it)
