Really easy thai (ish) chicken dish. Portion size suits two. Three if you're sparrows.
Half kg boneless chicken thighs chopped into chunks
1 TB oyster sauce
1 TB fish sauce
1 TB soy sauce
1 1/2 TB brown sugar
4 minced garlic cloves
1 long thai chilli (chopped)
2 TB finely diced onion
1 cup basil leaves
Combined the sauces, sugar, garlic, chilli and onion in a bowl.
Pour half the mixture over the chicken and really mix it in with your hands, make sure it's well coated. Then let rest for about 10 min.
Add about 1 to 2 TB of oil to a hot wok (frying pan will do if you don't have) and tip in the marinated chicken. Fry until starts to brown.
Turn down the heat to about half and tip in the reserved marinade. Let this thicken away and eventually it will start to caramelise. (you'll notice the pan getting a little sticky as you stir.)
When you get to that sticky point turn OFF the heat and tip in your cup of torn basil leaves. Stir for a minute of so so they are wilted and well mixed in.
Can serve with just a bit of rice but I had with some Bok Choi and an asian style fried egg.
About 20 min from start to finish. No excuses. (taste is better than the pic)
