Glad that my post is helpful!
For the basil, check out this recipe: https://omnivorescookbook.com/thai-basil-chicken/
I used regular basil in the photo because I wasn’t able to find Thai basil at the time, but you should use Thai basil to get the best taste for this one.

Thanks for having this thread on the vegetables. I bought a bunch of vegetables not knowing exactly what they were or what to do with them and then saw you have a whole topic on the stuff. I have pretty much everything you explained except I got a bag of thai basil too that smells lovely. I can not wait to comb your recipes to make all of this.

Thank you so much for the introductory to Asian greens, I see them in the markets but have no idea what they are or how to use them.

Great information thank you. I’ve studied the list and feel more confident about going to an Asian supermarket.

In reply to Doug. Hi Doug, I actually won't concern about pesticides because I think the Chinese greens are grown locally in the US (assuming you're living in the US). If you're still concerned, you can try to soak the greens in water for a while before cooking. It's a common practice in China to get rid of the pesticide.

Do you know anything about the pesticides sprayed on Chinese greens? I’ve been using many of them for quite some time, and try to wash them well, but all of a sudden it occurred to me that since I’m sure they are all grown in China, they may use non-US approved pesticides, in unregulated amounts. Any advice?
