Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 3 thinly sliced bird’s eye chilies, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant but not burnt.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 lb of 1-inch chicken thigh pieces, sautéing for 5-7 minutes until fully cooked and lightly browned on the edges.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 2 sliced shallots, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp fish sauce, and 1 tsp palm sugar, mixing well. Pour in 2 tbsp water and cook for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
  4. Step 4: Remove from heat and fold in 1 cup fresh Thai holy basil leaves until wilted and aromatic, about 1 minute. Serve immediately with steamed jasmine rice.
