Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breast (or tofu for vegetarian option)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 Thai chili, finely chopped (optional)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce (optional)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- 4 cups cooked jasmine rice (for serving)
Instructions
Prepare all the ingredients: Slice the chicken breast thinly (or cube tofu for a vegetarian option), mince the garlic, and slice the vegetables as instructed.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce (if using), brown sugar, and lime juice. Set aside.
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Add the minced garlic and chopped Thai chili (if using). Stir-fry for 20-30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced chicken (or tofu) to the pan. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly browned.
Add the vegetables (red bell pepper, broccoli, carrot, and onion) to the pan. Continue stir-frying for another 5-6 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Pour the sauce mixture over the stir fry and toss well to coat all the ingredients evenly. Cook for another 2 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Toss in the fresh basil leaves and stir for 30 seconds, allowing them to wilt slightly.
Remove from heat and serve the Thai-style stir fry immediately over cooked jasmine rice.
