I went to a Thai cook class for mum's birthday and learnt this recipe, I cook it all the time, it's so simply and yummy. I'll do some simply one's to start with and if people want some longer, more complex one's let me know and I'll bring them out to!
Chicken & Basil stir fry
With this dish there was no amounts given so you have to do it to taste, add a little and taste and then add more if you think it needs it, we like it hot so I add more chilli. I'll just put roughly what I put in.
Ingredients
2 Chicken breasts
Basil (I just rip up a few handfuls at the end)
2 Chillis
2 cloves Garlic
a lug of Oil
a couple of lugs of Soy
a few lugs of Fish sauce
about 2 tbs Oyster sauce
1 tbs Chicken stock powder (use the dried asian style not cubes, this is like powder)
palm Sugar (I like it pretty sweet so I used the bottled stuff and add a big tbs, you could use brown suger)
Method
Slice chicken into thin slices and marinate in oyster and soy sauce
Crush or blend together garlic and chilli.
Heat oil in hot wok and add garlic and chilli blend (I added some fresh ginger to this mix too), stir fry for 1 minute.
Add chicken and stir fry until cooked.
Season with chicken stock, sugar and fish sauce to taste.
Add basil leaves and stir for 1 minute.
I’ve also added cashews and cut up snake beans (or normal beans) to this recipe as well, that’s nice too.
