Very good taste. Added some lime juice on top as well. Didn't use the oil on top, but added twice the oil to the broth. Did rice noodles, everyone loved it. It took alot longer to make than on the recipe though. Only other change was I added granulated garlic as well to garlic it up a bit more, and used 1/2 soy and 1/2 worchestershire to reduce the sodium a bit. My Tai basil died in the freeze, but that would have really made this dish pop even more.
