Recipes Side Dish Vegetables Eggplant Thai Basil Eggplant 4.5 (4) 4 Reviews 1 Photo Basil is my favorite herb and maybe a reason I love Thai food so much. The soups, curries, and stir-fries taste amazingly different with just few handfuls of sweet basil. This recipe is super easy and cooks in very little time. Serve with freshly cooked jasmine or basmati rice. Recipe by ChiBites Published on June 19, 2020 Save Saved!
