SPICY THAI BASIL CHICKEN (PAD KRAPOW GAI)

Spicy Thai Basil Chicken (Pad Krapow Gai) image

My version of this classic Thai dish has spectacular taste even with regular basil instead of Thai or holy basil. The sauce actually acts like a glaze as the chicken mixture cooks over high heat. The recipe works best if you chop or grind your own chicken and have all ingredients prepped before you start cooking.

Time 25m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

⅓ cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce, or as needed
2 teaspoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, coarsely chopped
¼ cup sliced shallots
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons minced Thai chilies, Serrano, or other hot pepper
1 cup very thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
2 cups hot cooked rice

Steps:

Whisk chicken broth, oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, white sugar, and brown sugar together in a bowl until well blended.
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. 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.
Stir in basil. Cook and stir until basil is wilted, about 20 seconds. Serve with rice.

### Tips

Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your dish the best flavor and texture. If you can, use organic ingredients whenever possible.
Don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to your taste: This recipe is a starting point, so feel free to adjust it to your own taste. For example, if you like more heat, you can add more chili peppers. If you prefer a sweeter dish, you can add more sugar or honey.
Cook the chicken over high heat: This will help to seal in the juices and prevent the chicken from becoming dry.
Stir-fry the vegetables until they are just tender: You don't want to overcook the vegetables, or they will become mushy.
Add the basil leaves at the end of cooking: This will help to preserve their flavor.
Serve the dish immediately: This dish is best served hot and fresh.
