This is very simple dish in Thailand and Cambodia you can use chicken or pork to cook this stir fry.
You can use ground pork or ground chicken or slice pork or chicken. The most importance is to find Holy Basil (Mreas Prov) do not use regular Thai Basil it won’t taste the same. Thai use long beans for vegetables, but I use all kind of color vegetables
