Aiyo, pad kra pao with Italian basil tasted like pizza masala — holy basil (tulsi) has that sharp, peppery bite, and Thai basil is sweeter. Your wok must be smoking hot to get that 'wok hei'. But I burned my tawa making it, so honestly, a hot pan is fine. After my Italian basil disaster, amma said my version was "experimental" — a kind word for terrible.
