I love to add it to noodle dishes and warm meat and seafood salads. A great and very simple way of trying this herb is to tear three or four leaves into a bowl and pour over a simple clear chicken stock that has been flavoured with lemongrass, chilli, fish sauce and ginger. Add some noodles and other greens for a delicious filling and nutritious meal.
