Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 4 ounces green beans cut in half
- 1 ½ pounds ground chicken
- 6 green onions stalks chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 4 minced Thai chilies or to taste
- 1 cup very thinly sliced fresh Thai basil leaves
- jasmine rice to serve
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a heavy, high-walled skillet (or a wok) over high heat. In a small bowl, whisk together the oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, and honey until well-combined.
- Add the red bell pepper and green beans to the hot wok and stir-fry for one minute. Add in the chicken and stir-fry, breaking apart as you go, until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the green onions, garlic, and Thai chilies. Cook until fragrant, about 1 more minute. Then, pour in the prepared sauce. Continue to cook for about 1-2 more minutes.
- Stir in the Thai basil leaves and cook until the chicken is completely cooked through, the basil is wilted, and the liquid has mostly evaporated. Serve warm with rice.
Notes
- Make this dish as spicy or as mild as you like by adjusting the amount of chilies used.
- You can mix up the veggies depending on what you have to hand. Matchstick carrots or peas are great additions.
- Stir the dish while cooking so that everything cooks evenly and nothing sticks.
- Use a large skillet or a wok.
- Have all your ingredients prepped before firing up the skillet/wok, things move fast!
