This dish is a firm favourite in our household after we discovered it at a little beach hut in Koh Phi Phi, Thailand. When we returned home I just knew I had to try and recreate the fresh, fragrant flavours of this simple yet exotic meal and after many different trial and error attempts, this version really hit the spot!

This recipe really celebrates the wonderful flavours of Thailand. Saltiness from the fish sauce, sweetness of the sugar, zesty freshness of the herbs and spiciness of the chillies make this the ultimate bowl of comfort food.

The dish is super quick and easy to make and you can cook large amounts in a wok, making it a fantastic sharing dish or great as a meal prep dish to portion up and freeze for another day.

Chopped up pieces of fluffy omelette are stirred into the dish at the end to add a wonderful variety of textures.

The use of Thai basil and coriander together is a unique combination that adds strong bursts of flavours.

The ultimate bowl of warm Thai comfort food, perfect for sharing!
