- 3 tablespoons oil
- 3 holland chilies (thinly sliced)
- 1-2 Thai bird's eye chilies (optional, thinly sliced)
- 3 shallots (thinly sliced)
- 5 cloves garlic (sliced)
- 1 package seitan/vegan chicken (227g, chopped into small bits)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons light soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce (optional non-vegan ingredient ok for pescetarians or flexitarians - see note in recipe introduction; if using, reduce soy sauce by 1 teaspoon. Can also substitute vegan fish sauce.)
- 2-3 tablespoons water
- 1 bunch holy or Thai Basil leaves (de-stemmed, washed)
- Juice of half a lime (optional)

Instructions
- In a wok over high heat, add the oil, chilies, shallots and garlic, and fry for 1-2 minutes. Add the vegan chicken, and stir-fry for 30 seconds, spreading evenly in a single layer. Then let the vegan chicken brown, stirring occasionally to sear it evenly.
- Add the sugar, light soy sauce (add half the amount if using fish sauce), and dark soy sauce. At this point, add the fish sauce if you are pescatarian/flexitarian.
- Stir-fry for another minute, and deglaze the pan with water. Because your pan is over high heat, the liquid should cook off very quickly.
- Add the basil, and stir-fry until wilted. Finish with fresh lime juice (optional, but a good opportunity for extra tang and flavor, especially for those omitting the fish sauce!). Serve over steamed rice!
