This Thai basil fried rice is a staple of Thai cooking and a great use for leftover rice. Adjust the spices to your tastes. I get Thai basil from a local Asian market. It has a different flavor than regular basil and makes all the difference in this recipe. It is fast and fairly easy to make but requires constant stirring.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- ½ 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 (Optional)
- ½ cup cilantro sprigs (Optional)
Directions
Step 1
Gather all ingredients.
Step 2
Whisk together oyster sauce, fish sauce, and sugar in a small bowl; set aside.
Step 3
Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat until oil begins to smoke. Add garlic and Serrano peppers, stirring quickly.
Step 4
Stir in chicken, bell pepper, onion, and oyster sauce mixture; cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
Step 5
Increase heat to high and stir in chilled rice; stir quickly until sauce is well blended with rice. Use the back of a spoon to break up any rice sticking together.
Step 6
Remove the wok from heat. Stir in basil leaves. Garnish with sliced cucumber and cilantro.
