Nat'S Thai Chicken Basil - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into chunks)
    1 Spanish onion (sliced)
    1 green pepper (sliced)
    1 red pepper (sliced)
    1 cup broccoli (just the tops)
    1 1/2 cups basil
    1 red chile (seeded)
    3 cloves garlic
    3 tablespoons Thai fish sauce
    2 tablespoons soya sauce
    2 teaspoons sugar
    1/2 lime (juice of)
Preparation
    In a mortar and pestle add: red chilli, garlic, 1 cup of basil and the sugar.
    Pound until you get a nice smooth paste.
    Add fish sauce, soya and lime juice.
    Stir.
    Taste and adjust.
    I like mine kind of sweet with lots of Basil flavour.
    Heat wok, add chicken.
    Stir fry on high.
    Add broccoli and toss for a minute.
    Add onion and peppers, toss for about 2 minutes.
    Add sauce from mortar and pestle.
    (still high heat) toss 1 minute.
    Add remaining 1/2 cup of basil (roughly chopped) until barely wilted.
    Serve with rice.
