Thai Basil Chicken

Summary: I love the flavors of Thai food and this dish is my all time favorite. The sauce is sweet, salty, and spicy which goes perfectly with white rice. The most traditional way is with ground pork but you can make this dish with any type of meat or seafood.

Ingredients:
  • Chicken, 1 lb cut into pieces
  • Fish Sauce, 2 tbsp
  • Soy Sauce, 1 tbsp
  • Oyster Sauce, 2 tbsp
  • Brown Sugar, 2 tsp
  • Garlic, minced
  • Onion, 1/4 cup, minced
  • Fresh Chili (de-seed if you don't like it too spicy)
  • Fresh Basil, leaves only
  • Pepper
  • Oil 
Step 1: Heat some oil in a pan and cook the onion and garlic until fragrant, 2 minutes.  Add in the chicken and mix with the onion and garlic.

Step 2: Add in the fish sauce, soy sauce, oyster sayce, brown sugar and pepper. Mix well to combine all the flavors with the chicken. Stir constantly until chicken is cooked.

Step 3: Add in the basil and chilis at the last minute and take off the heat. The basil will wilt as you stir it up. Serve over hot rice.
