FAQ · Things people ask

About this recipe.

Can I use other types of noodles?

While wide rice noodles are traditional, you can substitute with fresh ramen noodles or even dried wide rice noodles soaked according to package directions. Just ensure they are firm enough to withstand stir-frying.

What if I can't find holy basil?

Holy basil (grapao) is key for the authentic flavor. If unavailable, Thai basil can be a decent substitute, but it will offer a slightly different, sweeter anise-like note. Regular Italian basil is not recommended.
