Our take on Thai's famous dish. We velvet our minced so it absorbs the sauce better. However, this step (velveting the chicken) is optional. This recipe uses minced chicken breast but any part of the chicken that is thinly sliced or diced or any other meat work fine too.

Steps

1 hour

1

This step is optional
- You can proceed to step 2 if you do not want to velvet your chicken.
Combine all ingredients listed in A - chicken, corn flour, bicarb-soda (if using), pinch of salt, pinch of pepper powder & water. Mix well. Cover and leave to rest and proceed to prep the rest of the ingredients.
2

1. Peel garlic & chop the chillies. Then pound these two ingredients into paste using mortar and pestle. Pic below.
2. Wash Thai basil in a bowl of water then continue to pluck the leaves and discard the stems/stalks.
3. Prep the sauce - combine fish sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce & sugar in a small bowl.
3

Heat 1/4 cup of oil over medium heat. Once it's hot enough, add the chicken. Turn on heat to high. Spread it out and cook until chicken is lightly golden and cooked through. Keep cooking until the chicken or meat juice has evaporated. This is when it's started to sizzle. Push the mince to one side of the wok. Add a little more oil to the pan. See pic below.
4

Add pounded chilli & garlic paste mixture to the oil. Sauté at one side of the pan until garlic turns lightly golden. Then toss & combine everything together in the wok. Add the seasoning sauce mixture (fish sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce & sugar). Stir to mix.
5

Next add 1/4 cup (4-5 TABLESPOONS) of the stock/broth of your choice (use leftover clear chicken soup or water if you dont have any stock/broth. If you use water, add a good pinch of chicken bouillon to lightly season the water). Next, stir and mix well for another minute or two. Turn the heat to low, add Thai basil.
6

Cook until the greens is wilted. Taste and adjust seasonings accordingly. Remove from the heat and serve warm.
