Prepared with red pepper flakes (1 tsp) and thai chilli sauce w/ garlic (2 tsp) instead of chili oil and whole peppers. 1/2 tsp sugar and 2 tbsp oyster sauce. No garlic salt (heard it would be too salty). substituted some mushrooms and red bell peppers for onion (had none). Nice flavor. Next time, make more saucy. perfect degree of spiciness. boyfriend was alarmed that I used up half his basil plant for this one meal.

I've been looking for some easy and authentic Thai recipes and this was great! I didn't have oyster sauce so I used 3 tbsp fish sauce, added some cilantro with the basil, and squeezed some lime right before serving. Turned out great!
