  1. Everything else looks good, but why the awful bell peppers? If you don't want พริกขี้หนู you could still use a pepper with actual spice (literally ANY other pepper...)

    1. I put bell peppers in there as well because I love vegetables that's all. Nothing to do with พริกขี้หนู. I haven't really kept up with this blog and didn't notice I forgot พริก. Actually real ผัดกระเพรา doesn't have any vegetables besides กระเพรา พริก and กระเทียม and is even hard to find in Thailand. Over the years all the vendors began to put more and more vegetables in it so they could use less meat because it's cheaper that way.
