Product Information

Disclaimer: Although we make every effort to ensure product information is correct and up-to-date, we are not responsible for typos, inaccuracies or mis-information on this site. The Holy basil seasoning paste from Lobo is a favourite to use for cooking food full of wonderful Thai flavour. This is a note to my Western readers: cook the garlic slightly past the point of what feels natural, to where it starts to get a little crispy at the edges. Personally, I think this sauce requires chillies and doesn't taste right without them, so if you aren't a fan of fiery heat then I would recommend using a milder variety rather than omitting them altogether. One of the most popular items at pop ups I've done with Kay Kay Food is a holy basil and shiitake mushroom crystal dumpling, which was made using this sauce.

This particular Thai basil is the more common of the 3 Asian varieties, and is quite often passed off as the more elusive Thai holy basil. So this Thai basil chilli paste recipe, post and the accompanying video (out in a week) was a bit of an impromptu thing. Some things about me: vegan, Thai food enthusiast, comfortably chaotic and disorganised, information lover, Londoner, cookbook collector, clumsy AF, rarely takes a serious photo, has never been on a diet.Although it is a very versatile stir-fry, given you can adapt the recipe for all kinds of proteins… and even vegetarian with tofu or mushrooms, the taste of Phad Krapao is unique and smells like Thailand: fragrant and spicy. Chilli Paste and Holy Basil Leaves is made from Thai red chilli peppers, basil leaves of holy basil, soy oil, and spicy garlic. Because I have a bagful and can make this right now if that won’t compromise the freshness or flavour too much. Chilli paste and Holy basil leaves are made from Thai red chilli peppers, basil leaves of holy basil, Soy Oil, and spicy garlic. If you've got a garden glut and are desperate for recipes with holy basil (kaprow/gaprao/etc…), this holy basil sauce is a great place to start.

Actual product packaging and materials may contain more and/or different information than that shown on our web site. To the uninitiated this may sound bizarre, but use of pasta in stir fries is familiar to Thai cooks (consider pad macaroni, a great favourite of Thai children). Chilli paste and Holy basil leaves are also very delicious as a dip for seafood and meat and great for enriching sauces and seasoning wok dishes. With Lobo Thai Holy Basil Seasoning Paste, you can season your meat or curry dishes and experience the authentic taste of Thailand.The most obvious application for the vegan holy basil sauce is pad kaprao, but there are plenty of other uses too.
