THAI CHICKEN WITH BASIL

Thai fish sauce, or nam pla, is a salty, watery, fermented sauce with a very pungent odor. It is used extensively in Southeast Asian cooking. You may be familiar with its flavor, as it's the key ingredient in the sauce accompanying deep-fried spring rolls served in Thai and Vietnamese restaurants.

Chilli Chicken With Basil Coconut Cream image

Here is a quick and easy Thai dish that is very good without to much preparation time. I usually make this as one of the dishes I make when I do a Thai night, of course with the ingredients cut way back, as I make this with two or three other dishes to accompany it. I think I have gotten close to what would be the right amount for 4 people as one main dish.

300 ml coconut cream (I use kara brand I really like this one as it is way more creamier than other brands.)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a wok or large frying pan, add onion, chilli and garlic, cook until onion is soft.
