I prefer to make this like a soup and put too much boullion in. Eyeballing measurements works for me too. Green peppers, red peppers, I don't see much difference except in the appearance. Did it once without the Oyster sauce, it was still good. Use Thai basil, the spicy one, if it's available, otherwise ordinary basil will do. But it does make a difference.

I have to say that I didn't follow the recipe exactly; I'm prone to eyeballing measurements. But it turned out great! I added yellow bell peppers and red bell peppers, and I served mine as lettuce wraps. Fast, easy, healthy and delicious!!

I was looking for this recipe for a long time on several different websites. Each one had a different version. I was addicted to this dish ever since i had it in a restaurant in DC. Only this recipe for this dish gives the exact flavors of what I had in the restaurant. This is a must-try!! U will love it if u like spicy food. I couldnt find the oyster sauce, instead I substituted Shrimp paste. It was awesome!!
