  • 1/3 cup Chicken Broth
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp fish sauce
  • 1 tsp white sugar
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup sliced shallots
  • 4 cloves minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp minced serrano peppers
  • 1 cup basil

Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Chiffonade the basil (roll up the leaves and slice thinly). Mix the first six ingredients together into a sauce.

Heat oil over high heat and stir-fry the chicken until it stops looking raw. Add the shallots, garlic, and peppers, and stir fry until the liquid begins to caramelize. Add a tablespoon of the sauce, let it caramelize, then add the rest of the sauce and cook, stirring, until it's reduced to a glaze. Remove from heat and stir in the basil until it wilts.

I doubled this recipe, but I'm not sure it was a good idea - it worked to an extent but I think my pan isn't big enough. I need to experiment with the single recipe version.
