Categories     dinner, poultry, main course

Time 1h

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound eggplant, preferably long Japanese or Chinese eggplants, diced
Salt to taste
3 large garlic cloves, peeled, halved, green shoots removed
2 serrano chiles, stemmed and minced
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 tablespoon fish sauce
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
3/4 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, rinsed and dried, cut into small dice or minced
1 cup Thai basil leaves, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Salt the eggplant generously and leave in a colander to sweat for 15 to 30 minutes, while you prepare the remaining ingredients. Rinse and drain on a clean kitchen towel.
  • Place the garlic in a mortar with 1/4 teaspoon salt and mash to a paste. Add the ginger and chiles, and continue to mash with the garlic. In another small bowl, mix together the fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar and pepper. Set aside.
  • Heat a large, heavy skillet or wok over high heat, until a drop of water evaporates immediately upon contact. Add 1 tablespoon oil, turn the heat down to medium-high, and add the garlic paste. Stir-fry for 30 seconds, and add the chicken. Stir-fry for three to four minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and no traces of pink remain. Transfer from the pan or wok to a plate or bowl.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add the eggplant. Cook, stirring, until the eggplant is lightly browned and almost cooked through, about 10 minutes. Stir the chicken back into the pan, and add the fish and soy sauce mixture. Add 1/4 cup water, cover the wok or pan, turn the heat down to medium and steam for five minutes. Uncover, and stir in the basil leaves. Stir for 30 seconds to a minute, remove from the heat and serve with rice.

Tips:

  • To make the most of this dish, use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Fresh basil leaves will provide the best flavor, and freshly ground chicken will be more tender and flavorful than pre-ground chicken.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the spice level of the dish to your liking. If you like it spicy, add more chili peppers or chili paste. If you prefer a milder dish, use less chili or omit it altogether.
  • If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet instead. Just make sure that it is large enough to accommodate all of the ingredients comfortably.
  • This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. However, if you need to make it ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, simply reheat it over medium heat until it is warmed through.

Conclusion:

This Thai Ground Chicken Basil is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and flavorful meal. It is packed with flavor and is sure to please everyone at the table.
