Thai Basil Chopped Chicken (ผัดกะเพราไก่สับ)
This recipe really didn't have much room we could find to improve the ingredients other than the usual substitution of olive oil and going for the leanest possible free range chicken breasts. You can also use low sodium soy sauce rather than normal soy sauce which is available at most grocery stores.

It is also one of the faster and easier recipes to do and only took about 20 minutes or so with minimal ingredients so only about 10 minutes prep, 10 minutes cook time.

As always you can use a different protein and there are good arguments to be made that people who more strict vegetarians and pesco-vegetarians live longer in general so of course you can substitute as desired.
Finely Chopped Long Beans

The recipe could still be healthier if you didn't use the oyster sauce or the seasoning sauce and/or found a healthier substitution. You will also, as always, want to consider any specific dietary restrictions you might have.
