Food52 Review: This fast and easy stir fry has hints of ginger and spice from the chile. I would serve with rice to sop up some of the delicious salty liquid. Be sure to get a basil leaf in every bite. - Stephanie - A&M

OK, if these were traditional Italian or Spanish ingredients I would say serve with some crusty bread to sop up the broth. What do you suggest for that purpose here?
