2. You can substitute any of your favorite stir fry vegetables to the dish.
3. Add canola oil to a large pan and brown your crumbled sausage.
4. I recommend hot Italian sausage or bratwurst (pick a sausage that does not render out too much oil.
5. ; you dont want the dish greasy).
6. If you do not have sausage, you can also substitute any ground lean meat.
7. Then add your fresh vegetables and saute for a few minutes.
8. Next add your canned water chestnuts, baby corn and bamboo shoots and saute.
9. Now add your ground or powdered spices and saute a few minutes.
10. Finally add your coconut milk, water, fish sauce and cleaned basil leaves next.
