Thai Chicken with Basil

[the_cooking_mom]

Вкусно. Вместо тайского базилика использовала кинзу, а так же зеленый и красный болгарские перцы и сухой острый перец хлопьями.

1 1/3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 4), cut into 1-by-2-inch pieces

2 tablespoons nam pla or nuoc mam (Asian fish sauce)

1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon water

1 1/2 teaspoons sugar

2 tablespoons cooking oil

1 large onion, cut into thin slices

3 fresh red chiles, seeds and ribs removed, cut into thin slices, or 1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 1/2 cups lightly packed basil leaves, divided



In a medium bowl, combine the chicken with the fish sauce, soy sauce, water, and sugar. In a large nonstick frying pan or a wok, heat the oil over moderately high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir in the chiles and garlic; cook, stirring, 30 seconds longer.

Remove the chicken from the marinade with a slotted spoon and add it to the hot pan. Cook until almost done, stirring, about 3 minutes. Add the marinade and cook 30 seconds longer. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 cup of the basil. Serve topped with the remaining 1/2 cup basil.
