Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil (or oil of choice)
- 2 tablespoons ginger (minced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 teaspoons chili garlic paste (optional)
- 20 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into one-inch pieces)
- 1 medium onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 red bell pepper (cored and thinly sliced)
- ¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- ½ cup basil (thinly sliced)
- jasmine rice (optional, to serve)
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large wok or deep skillet over high heat. Add ginger, garlic and chili paste and heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper to taste then add to the pan. Stir-fry until chicken is golden brown, about 7-9 minutes stirring frequently. Remove from pan; set aside.
- Add peppers and onions to the pan along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir-fry, stirring frequently, until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Return chicken to the pan and add soy sauce, lime juice, fish sauce, and sugar. Cook for 2-3 minutes further. Stir in basil right before before serving over Jasmine rice.
Notes
- Thai basil preferred but Italian basil works well too.
