Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Thai basil leaves, loosely packed
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 pieces Red chili, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 4 servings Cooked jasmine rice
Instructions
Prepare all ingredients before beginning to cook: slice the chicken, mince the garlic, and thinly slice the chilies.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, and sugar. Stir well to dissolve the sugar and set aside.
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and let it heat up for a few seconds.
Add the minced garlic and sliced chilies to the wok. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the sliced chicken to the wok and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and stir well to coat all pieces evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
Turn off the heat and add the Thai basil leaves to the wok. Stir them into the chicken until the basil wilts and releases its aroma.
Serve the Thai Chicken with Basil immediately over a bed of cooked jasmine rice.
