Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken - 8.4 as needed
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil - 10.0 as needed
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced - 1.5 ml
  • 2-3 Thai chili peppers, finely chopped (adjust to taste) - 0.9 ml
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce - 4.2 g
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce - 0.8 oz
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce - 2.0 box
  • 1 tablespoon sugar - 8.4 fl oz
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth - 3.8 pt
  • 1 cup Thai basil leaves - 3.7 gal

Cooking Steps

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and chicken broth. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and chili peppers and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 3

Add ground chicken to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Pour the sauce over the chicken and bring to a simmer. Cook until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
