Phat cha

Method

1. 1 The krachai rice noodles are sliced into very thin strands; this is the main flavor of the dish.
2. 2 Score the squid body in a flower shape, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
3. 3 Sauté the red curry sauce in hot oil until fragrant.
4. 4 Add the squid and stir-fry quickly over high heat; squid that is cooked for too long will become tough.
5. 5 Add galangal, green peppercorns, and lime leaves, season with fish sauce, then turn off the heat and sprinkle with basil.
