Pad Grapow Chicken (Basil Chicken)

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Asian

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 lbs. chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 5 garlic cloves
  • 1 serrano chile
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 cups fresh Thai basil leaves
  • Cooked jasmine rice, for serving

Directions

  1. In a bowl, toss the chicken with the oyster and soy sauce and marinate for 10 minutes. Mash the garlic and chile in a mortar and pestle until finely smashed (or mince with a knife).

  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering-hot, add the garlic-chile mixture and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Increase the heat to high, add the chicken, and cook, stirring, until just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Add the basil and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
