SPICY THAI BASIL CHICKEN (PAD KRAPOW GAI)
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.

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, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your stir-fry. Look for brightly colored vegetables and mushrooms, and make sure your chicken is fresh and free of any blemishes.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're stir-frying, it's important not to overcrowd the pan. This will cause the ingredients to steam instead of fry, and they won't get that nice, crispy texture. If you need to cook a lot of ingredients, do it in batches.
- Use a well-seasoned wok or skillet: A well-seasoned wok or skillet will help to prevent the ingredients from sticking. If you don't have a well-seasoned wok or skillet, you can use a regular pan, but make sure to grease it well with oil.
- Stir-fry over high heat: Stir-frying is a quick-cooking method, so it's important to use high heat. This will help to sear the ingredients and prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Add the sauce at the end: The sauce is the final touch to your stir-fry. Add it at the end of the cooking process, so that the flavors have a chance to meld together.
Conclusion:
Thai chicken, mushroom, and basil stir-fry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. By following these tips, you can make a stir-fry that is full of flavor and has all the classic Thai flavors. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this stir-fry a try.
