Thai basil stir fry

Recipe Notes

I had some leftover rice from Indian takeout, a basil plant that I didn’t kill this summer, and a lime. There was fish sauce already in the cupboard. All I needed to pick up was the onion, carrot, and meat…and voila, dinner is served. The original recipe had more fish sauce in it, but in these types of recipes I prefer less fish sauce and more umami so next time I’d definitely decrease it (and I wrote the recipe to reflect that already).
