Hello, is it because of the lack of basil or do you need to use spices instead? I don't quite understand what you mean.
In fact, the English name of basil is Arugula, and the scientific name is Eruca sativa. It is a plant of arugula in Cruciferae.
So it is also called arugula in China. There are different names in different places, such as fragrant oil tank (Heilongjiang), stinky vegetable (Liaoning), stinky mustard (Inner Mongolia), stinky radish (Northwest) and Jintang (Sichuan).
