Spicy Basil Chicken Fried Rice
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1/2 cup peanut oil for frying
  • 6 large cloves garlic clove, crushed
  • 2 serrano peppers, crushed
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into thin strips
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups cooked jasmine rice, chilled
  • 2 cups sweet Thai basil
  • 1 cucumber, sliced
  • 1/2 cup cilantro sprigs
Instructions
1
Collect all necessary components.
2
Combine oyster sauce, fish sauce, and sugar in a small bowl; reserve for later use.
3
Heat oil in a wok over high heat until the oil starts to sizzle and smoke. Introduce garlic and Serrano peppers into the wok, stirring rapidly.
4
Integrate chicken, bell pepper, onion, and oyster sauce mixture into the wok; cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the juices flow freely.
5
Boost the heat to extreme levels and blend in chilled rice; stir swiftly until the sauce is evenly distributed throughout the rice. Utilize a spoon to separate any clumps of rice that have formed.
6
Withdraw the wok from heat. Combine basil leaves into the mixture, stirring gently to avoid bruising the leaves.
7
Finish the dish by garnishing it with sliced cucumber and cilantro.
