OH YES! This was the nectar of the Gods. I have always love the flavour combination of basil and cilantro. I used slightly different vegetables,(snow peas, capsicum, bok choy etc) but the sauce was delicious.

delicious! i was so glad i had made enough to have leftovers for the next day. i used tofu and different vegetables, but the sauce is what really made this dish. also, i added the cornstarch, but not as instructed. i wanted to wait until the end to see how thick it was, and then mixed a teaspoon with water before adding to the sauce already in the pan. i also stir-fried some noodles in extra sauce and threw in some sesame seeds. again, YUM.

Wow, this was intense. I reduced the chili paste to 3/4 tsp but it was almost too hot to eat. Good though.

Wow! This was one of the best recipe's I've ever tried! I made a few substitutions so I wasn't sure if it would work, but it turned out great! I used Bragg instead of soy sauce (lower sodium, Worcestershire sauce instead of fish oil and olive oil. I also omitted the chili paste since I didn't have any. This was the first time I've cooked with fresh herbs. The combination of the cilantro and basil work wonderful together! I will definately be making this again soon! Thanks so much Sue L!!

I tried this tonight with the thai chicken...the sauce on this was a little to strong for my taste-and that was with broccoli, zucchini, mushrooms,o nions, carrots and linguine. It was just ok

I liked this dish a lot. I only had one zucchini so I used one yellow squash and it was great. Other than that, I made it as posted. Sue L, thanks for this keeper.

VERY good. Anybody who thinks you can't have a fantastic dinner with little effort must try this. I did not use zucchini, added tofu, and doubled the amount of sauce since we had this with rice and I wanted some sauce for the rice. The sauce combined with the herbs was so simple, but so good. I would only cut down on the lime next time as I had a fairly large one and that overpowered a bit but not enough to keep it from being a great dinner, thank you.

We liked this fairly well. I used hot chili paste, cut it down to half a teaspoon and it was still too hot for the kids to eat. Needed a little salt and pepper to suit our tastes, but that's easily enough done by each individual. I did use the TBSP of cornstarch and it thickened up to a paste-like consistency and had to be thinned with about 1/2 cup water, so I think a full TBSP was way too much.

OMG, OMG, OMG these veggies are so good. The thai basil/cilantro combination in conjunction with the other flavoings is what sets this apart from other stir frys. Any recipe that actually gets DH to eat willfully zucchini must be outstanding! Thank you Sue L for sharing the recipe.

This was easily the best Thai veggie dish I've ever had yet. I made it with barb63's Thai Grilled Thighs (Thai Grilled Chicken Thighs), and it was truely a match made in heaven! Two teaspoons of sambal oelek was just the right amount of heat for us. Definitely serve over a bed of jasmine rice.
