Lobo brand Thai Holy basil seasoning paste - 1.76 oz each (5 packs)

Ease to cook

This is a medium-hot sauce, not burn-your-face-off hot. The flavors are great with meat and/or vegetables. I add to whatever combo of vegetables I've got that have been stir-fried until almost done. Add a little bit of coconut milk and the sauce. Put the lid on to simmer on low heat for a couple of minutes, or until veg are the way you like them. I'm no Thai chef - that's just how I use this sauce. I serve over basmati rice, because that's what I always have on hand.

This reminds me of the amazing food I had in Thailand! So easy to make and very authentic tasting.

Since I discovered this sauce, I stopped ordering in pad ka prao--basil chicken. I use a pound of ground chicken breast and add a cup of Thai and regular basil, blanched green beans and shallots along with serving with steamed rice. The sauce is a little spicier than I care for so I either use less or tone it down with palm or brown sugar. I think these pastes are a great value and am a fan of the red, yellow and green curry pastes. It's nice that they're enough for one meal while some curry bases come in sizes too large to easily use up.

tasted great in food

Great flavor. Easy to use.

This isn’t going to give you traditional Thai basil flavor in my opinion. There’s a lot going on insane these packets and it’s a liquid base that doesn’t smell great but tastes okay when cooked with whatever you are making. Does not taste like what I’m used to though

This is a wonderful compliment to some of my Thai and Eastern/Asian dishes... Has a wonderful little kick with perfect balanced flavor! So happy I found it without having to drive to several grocer's to find it. Thank you for creating a beautiful product even though it's a bit more than I wanted to spend.It's a keeper...
