Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz linguine or fettuccine pasta
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 pieces bird's eye chilies, finely chopped
- 1 lb chicken breast or shrimp, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 piece red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup green beans, trimmed and halved
- 1 cup Thai basil leaves
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 2 tsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- 4 pieces lime wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large wok or skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and chopped bird's eye chilies to the pan. Stir-fry for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Add the chicken or shrimp to the pan and cook until fully cooked and lightly golden, about 3-4 minutes.
Toss in the sliced red bell pepper and green beans. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, fish sauce, and sugar. Pour the sauce over the cooked ingredients in the pan.
Add the cooked pasta into the pan and toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated in the sauce.
Remove the pan from heat and fold in the Thai basil leaves, letting them wilt slightly from the residual heat.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for added freshness, if desired.
