Ingredients

• 3 to 4 tablespoons oil
• 3 Thai bird chilies (de-seeded if desired and thinly sliced)
• 3 shallots (thinly sliced)
• 5 cloves garlic (sliced)
• 1 pound ground chicken or pork
• 2 teaspoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1/3 cup low sodium chicken broth
• 1 bunch holy or Thai basil leaves

Preparation

• In a wok over high heat, add the oil, chilies, shallots and garlic, and fry for 1-2 minutes. Add the ground chicken and stir-fry for 2 minutes, breaking up the chicken into small bits.
• Add the sugar, soy sauce, and fish sauce. Stir-fry for another minute and deglaze the pan with the broth. Because your pan is over high heat, the liquid should cook off very quickly.
• Add the basil, and stir-fry until wilted. Serve over rice or noodles.
