I tried making the Tai Basil Chicken recipe and found it didn't make enough sauce, especially when I put it over rice. I liked the flavor of the recipe, but would appreciate suggestions on how to make it with more sauce.

Quick and easy recipe but the fish sauce smelled when I added it to the mix, kind of ruined the meal! Try this with soy sauce in place of the fish sauce.
