Spicy Thai Basil Chicken Stir-Fry with Garlic, Chilies, and Fragrant Holy Basil
Ingredients:
1 lb (450 g) ground chicken
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 cloves garlic, finely minced
4-6 Thai bird's eye chilies, finely chopped
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
2 teaspoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup chicken broth or water
2 cups fresh Thai holy basil leaves (or Thai basil if unavailable)
2 fried eggs (optional, for serving)
Steamed jasmine rice, for serving
Directions:
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat.
Add the minced garlic and chopped chilies. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground chicken and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula until fully browned.
Stir in the oyster sauce, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and chicken broth.
Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens and coats the chicken.
Add the Thai basil leaves and stir quickly until they wilt, about 30 seconds.
Remove from heat immediately to preserve the basil's fresh aroma.
Serve hot over steamed jasmine rice.
Top each serving with a crispy fried egg for the traditional Thai street food experience.
