1/4 cup dried Thai holy basil, soaked to soften

1 cup fresh Thai holy basil or Thai sweet basil

1/2 to 1 cup fresh Thai sweet basil

2 to 3 tablespoons peanut oil

4 to 6 cloves garlic, minced

2 to 3 shallots, thinly sliced or 1/2 cup sliced onion

1 pound boneless chicken, cut into bite-size pieces

4 to 8 Thai chiles, minced

2 small kaffir lime leaves, thinly sliced (optional)

1 to 2 teaspoons sweet black soy sauce

Ground white pepper, to taste

Directions:

BRING large pot of water to boil. Add rice noodles; cook 3 to 5 minutes or until noodles are tender but firm. Rinse under cold water; drain well. Set aside.

CLEAN and wash basil leaves. Fresh basil leaves should be left whole. The flowers may also be used. The dried holy basil will soften when soaked in tap water for 10 minutes.

Add rice noodles, chiles, kaffir lime leaves and dried holy basil leaves; stir fry 1 minute. Add black soy sauce; stir fry 30 seconds. Season to taste with fish sauce.
