Recipe Ingredients:

• 8 oz chicken breast, thinly sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, grated on a microplane
• 2 Tbsp minced Ginger
• 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 red pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 1/4 tablespoons fish sauce
• 3 teaspoon palm sugar
• 2 teaspoon kecap manis (sweet soy sauce)
• 1 Tbsp. Golden Mountain Sauce
• 1 big bunch of Thai basil leaves (stems removed)
• 7 bird’s eye chilies (chopped and pounded with a mortar and pestle)
• 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1/4 cup scallions (optional)

Recipe Steps:

• In a wok, heat oil over medium high heat. Stir fry the red pepper and onions until cooked half-way. Fry the garlic, chili peppers, and ginger in the olive oil over high heat. After several minutes, when the garlic starts to turn brown, toss in the chicken breast slices.
• When the chicken meat changes color, toss in the chilies and the seasonings (fish sauce, palm sugar, golden mountain sauce, and sweet soy sauce) and continue to stir-fry until the chicken is just about cooked through.
• Fold the basil in to mix it with the meat. Do a few quick stirs until the basil leaves are wilted and the stir fry becomes aromatic. Right before serving, stir in the white pepper and scallions.
• Serve immediately with rice.
