Notes

Wide rice noodles are recommended, but thinner ones can be used if wide ones are unavailable. Adjust chilli to your spice preference. Thai basil offers a slight aniseed flavor; regular basil is a suitable substitute. Light and dark soy sauces can be replaced with all-purpose soy sauce, but avoid using only dark soy sauce as it can be too strong.
