The perfect balance of savory, sweet, and spicy, with tender chicken cooked in a fragrant sauce of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and fish sauce, topped with fresh Thai basil.

Ingredients

Scale

  1. 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, thinly sliced

  2. 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  3. 4 cloves garlic, minced

  4. 2–3 Thai bird’s eye chilies, sliced (adjust to taste)

  5. 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  6. 1 tablespoon oyster sauce

  7. 1 tablespoon fish sauce

  8. 1 teaspoon sugar

  9. 1 cup fresh Thai basil leaves

  10. Cooked jasmine rice, for serving

Instructions

  • Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  • Cook the Chicken: Add the sliced chicken to the skillet and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.

  • Add Garlic and Chilies: Stir in the minced garlic and sliced chilies, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  • Mix the Sauces: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, and sugar. Pour this sauce mixture over the chicken and stir well to coat.

  • Add the Basil: Remove the skillet from heat and fold in the fresh Thai basil leaves until just wilted.

 

Notes

  • Adjust the level of heat by modifying the number of bird’s eye chilies used.

  • If you can’t find Thai basil, you can substitute with regular basil, but the flavor will be different.

 

  • Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a simple cucumber salad for extra freshness.
