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.
