I just love Thai Basil with Chicken so this is the second time I'm posting a Thai Basil recipe. It's a dish I can eat over and over again. I love the simplicity of this recipe because it only has a few key ingredients. Although it's a quick and easy dish to make, the final flavors you get are bold and complex. It's simply a dish that makes my taste-buds happy..
You want to start with 1lb of ground chicken. Marinate the chicken with 1Tbs of fish sauce and 1Tbs of cornstarch. Mix well and set aside for 10-15 minutes. While researching this dish, I found that ground chicken was used a lot in this type of dish. I personally love ground chicken because you have no cutting involved. This is yet another reason this dish is so quick and easy to prepare.
The sauce
Mix together 1/4 cup fish sauce and 2Tbs of brown sugar. Set aside until later.
Note: Fish sauce is very authentic to Thai cooking so it is something you want in your pantry for a lot of your Asian recipes.
For the stir fry:
** you can also add other vegetables in the dish. If you add a lot more vegetables you will need to adjust your sauce accordingly.
Heat 3Tbs of canola oil in a wok on high heat. Add garlic for a few seconds (careful not to burn).
Add the ground chicken mixture and fry until chicken is cooked through about 5-6 minutes.
Next add your vegetables, basil and the sauce you made earlier to the pan. I wanted my sauce to have some darker coloring and also more gravy so I also added 1Tbs of soy sauce and 2Tbs of water.
Cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Yum... it's ready to eat!
Serves 4 people. Serve with rice. Enjoy.
