‘Soboro’ (Crumbled Meat) dishes are my children’s favourite and I cook them frequently. It’s easy to cook, inexpensive and yummy! But, after cooking them over and over again, it was time for me to create a new ‘Soboro’ dish. My daughter is a big fan of Southeast Asian food. So I tried something Asian.

This ‘Thai Inspired Chicken & Basil Soboro Don’ is seasoned with Fish Sauce, not Soy Sauce. Plus I added plenty of Basil leaves. Southeast Asian Basil is hard to find, so I use Sweet Basil that is widely available. Serve with crispy fried eggs!!!

Steps

1

Cut Onion and Capsicums into small pieces.
2

Place Chilli Garlic Sauce, Fish Sauce and Sugar in a small bowl and mix well. If you can’t find Chilli Garlic Sauce, you can use fresh Garlic and Chilli, but I don’t know how much of them as I always use Chilli Garlic Sauce.
3

Heat Oil in a frying pan and cook Chicken Mince and Ginger.
4

When Chicken changes colour, add Onion and Capsicums and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until softened.
5

Add the sauce, cook until the sauce thickens, then finally add coarsely sliced Basil Leaves and combine well.
6

Cook crispy Eggs.
7

Half fill a bowl with Freshly Cooked Rice and cover it with the mixture. Place the crispy fried Egg on top and Serve.
