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.
