Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce, or as needed
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • ¼ cup chicken or veg broth
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pound chicken mince
  • 4 shallots chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons minced Thai chilies, Serrano, or other hot
  • 1 cup very thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
  • 2 cups hot cooked rice
Instructions
  1. Whisk the broth, oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar together in a bowl until well blended.
  2. Heat large skillet over high heat. Drizzle in oil. Add chicken and stir fry until it loses its raw color, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in shallots, garlic, and sliced chilies. Continue cooking on high heat until some of the juices start to caramelize in the bottom of the pan, about 2 or 3 more minutes. Add about a tablespoon of the sauce mixture to the skillet; cook and stir until sauce begins to caramelize, about 1 minute.
  3. Pour in the rest of the sauce. Cook and stir until sauce has deglazed the bottom of the pan. Continue to cook until sauce glazes onto the meat, 1 or 2 more minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Stir in basil. Cook and stir until basil is wilted, about 20 seconds. Serve with rice.
