Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground Chicken
- 1 cup Thai Basil chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic minced
- 3 Bird's Eye Chilies sliced
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 tbsp Fish Sauce
- 1 tbsp Oyster Sauce
- 1 tbsp Brown Sugar
- 1/4 cup Water
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients. Start by mincing the garlic and slicing the chilies and onion. Wash and pick the Thai basil leaves from the stems.
- Make the Sauce. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and water. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
- Cook the Chicken. Heat a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add a bit of oil, then sauté the garlic and chilies until fragrant. Add the ground chicken and cook until it’s no longer pink (5-7 minutes), breaking it up with a spoon.
- Combine and Stir-Fry. Pour the sauce over the chicken mixture and stir to coat evenly. Cook for another few minutes until the sauce is slightly reduced and the chicken is fully cooked.
- Add Basil. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the fresh basil leaves. The residual heat will wilt the basil just right.
- Serve. Serve hot over a bed of steamed jasmine rice and top with a fried egg for an authentic touch.
