ผัดมะเขือยาว (Pad Makua Yao)
You don't need to be a vegetarian to appreciate the wonderful flavor of this stir-fried eggplant with basil. Known as Pad Makua Yao sai Horapah, it has just a hint of spiciness, and the generous portion of Thai sweet basil included gives it a subtle sweet taste of licorice or anise. Enjoy it as a side dish with any type of international cuisine, or as a traditionally flavored Thai vegetarian lunch with a little steamed rice.
