Overall:

45m

Cook:

25m

INGREDIENTS

⅔ cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
4 teaspoons fish sauce
2 teaspoons white sugar
2 teaspoons brown sugar
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 pounds chicken thighs, finely chopped
½ cup shallots - sliced
8 cloves garlic - minced
4 tablespoons Thai chilies - minced
2 cups Thai basil leaves
4 cups cooked rice - hot

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Whisk chicken broth, oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, white sugar, and 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.

3. Add about a tablespoon of the sauce mixture to the skillet; cook and stir until sauce begins to caramelize, about 1 minute. 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.
