Holy Basil {Ocimum tenuiflorum}
Cooking Class @ Tum Tum Cheng Cooking School in Luang Prabang.
The instructor took great pains to explain the different type of Basil used in Laotian cooking as they impart different taste and profiles and are usually used in a mixture for a more complex offering.
This is Holy Basil - omnipotent in Vietnamese cuisine and important in Thai as well. Easily recognisable from the violet coloured infloresences and purplish stems.
