Ingredients
3 Tbsp vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic, sliced
2-4 red chilies, seeded and chopped
1 lb chicken, cut into bite-size pieces
3 Tbsp fish sauce
2 tsp dark soy sauce
1 tsp sugar
10-12 Thai basil leaves (regular basil leaves will also work)
2 red chilies, finely sliced and 20 Thai basil leaves, deep-fried (optional) to garnish
Instructions
1. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan and swirl it around
2. Add the garlic and chilies and stir-fry until golden
3. Add the chicken and stir-fry until it changes color
4. Season with fish sauce, soy sauce and sugar. Continue to stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked. Stir in the fresh Thai basil leaves. Garnish with sliced chilies and the deep-fried basil, if using.
To deep-fry the basil leaves, make sure that they are completely dry. Deep-fry in hot oil for about 30-40 seconds, lift out and drain on paper towels.
