Thai Spicy Basil Chicken Fried Rice image

This is a staple of Thai cooking. Adjust the spices to your own tastes for a really great use for leftover rice!! I get the basil from a local Asian market. It has a different flavor than that of regular basil and makes all the difference in this recipe. It is fast and fairly easy to make, but requires constant stirring.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon white sugar
½ cup peanut oil for frying
4 cups cooked jasmine rice, chilled
6 large cloves garlic clove, crushed
2 serrano peppers, crushed
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into thin strips
1 red pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
1 onion, thinly sliced
2 cups sweet Thai basil
1 cucumber, sliced
½ cup cilantro sprigs

Steps:

  • Whisk together the oyster sauce, fish sauce, and sugar in a bowl.
  • Heat the oil in a wok over medium-high heat until the oil begins to smoke. Add the garlic and serrano peppers, stirring quickly. Stir in the chicken, bell pepper, onion and oyster sauce mixture; cook until the chicken is no longer pink. Raise heat to high and stir in the chilled rice; stir quickly until the sauce is blended with the rice. Use the back of a spoon to break up any rice sticking together.
