Love me some PKP and picking a bunch of basil today got me in the mood

Tonight I used ground turkey for the protein. I usually use zukes and carrots but my zuke was nasty when I cut it open.  I subbed yellow pepper and shallots instead.  The paste was made from 6 garlic cloves and 6 Thai chili peppers. Sauce was a mix of oyster sauce, black soy, reg soy,fish sauce,sugar and a little water.  The green is Thai basil. 


The egg warmed up while I was chopping and making some lemongrass and ginger tea 



Fried up the garlic and chili paste then threw in the meat 


Meat was close to done so it came out and veggies went in 


Veggies get close then the meat n sauce go back in till everything get edible. 


Then then Thai Basil goes in and quickly remove everything from the heat 


And plated with Jasmine rice.  



Really good eats.  Thanks for looking.

    You had that wok nice and hot. Delicious looking cook as always.

    You have great cooking skills across the spectrum.  Congrats.  I would inhale that.  
    And give this a thought, Friday night Zoom participation, as engaged or not as you want.  I'm sure we could learn a lot and you will enjoy yourself.

    That’s funny. There is a secret to being a great photographer- don’t post or show your cruddy pics...
    The same can be said of cooking. Don’t post the cooks that don’t turn out. 

    I posted a cook on IG one time. My wife said, “You’re going to post that? It wasn’t good.” I said, “You can’t tell what it tastes like on IG - just what it looks like.”
