Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, fish sauce, and sugar. Set aside.
- Heat up a large frying pan or wok and add in 2 tablespoon oil.
- Add in the shallots, garlic, Thai chilies and quickly stir fry until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Next, add in the ground chicken and break it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until no longer pink, about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth mixture and stir to coat the chicken. Be sure to scrape off any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Continue to cook.
- When most of the chicken broth has evaporated, turn off the heat and add in a large handful of Thai basil.
- Stir to incorporate the basil into the chicken as the residual heat will continue to wilt the basil. Remove from heat.
- Serve the Thai Basil Chicken with fresh hot steamed rice and a fried egg. Garnish with additional basil leaves. Best served hot.
