Ingredients

  • 1 Chicken breast
  • 1 dash Salt
  • 1 dash Pepper
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons Sake
  • 1 medium Red or yellow bell pepper
  • 2 Green pepper
  • 1/2 Onion
  • 2 tsp Garlic (finely chopped)
  • 1 tsp Ginger (finely chopped)
  • 3 Red chili pepper
  • 15 leaves Basil leaves
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Fish sauce
  • 1 1/2- tablespoons Oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp Sake
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 4 Egg
  • 1/2 Lemon
  • 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
  • 1 for 3-4 servings Cooked rice (warm)

Method

  • Remove excess fat from the chicken and dice into 1 cm cubes.
  • Tenderize the cubes with a knife.
  • Add the seasonings marked , and rub well to season the chicken.
  • Slice the green and red or yellow bell peppers and onion into 5-6mm thin strips.
  • Mince the garlic and ginger.
  • Remove the seeds from the red chilli peppers.
  • Put the oil, garlic, ginger and red chilli pepper in a frying pan, then turn on the heat.
  • If you heat the pan beforehand, these ingredients will burn!
  • When the garlic is cooked and aromatic, add the chicken breast.
  • When the chicken is cooked halfway, add the onion and bell peppers.
  • Keep stir-frying.
  • Season with the sake, fish sauce, oyster sauce and sugar.
  • If you don't like the fish sauce (or you don't have it), add soy sauce.
  • That version is also tasty.
  • When the moisture in the pan is gone and the seasonings are absorbed into the ingredients evenly, tear off the basil leaves and add them in.
  • Stir briefly, and it's done.
  • Put warm cooked rice in a mold and take it out to shape a mountain.
  • Place the rice on a plate.
  • Jasmin rice (Thai rice) is the best for this dish!
  • Fry an egg with generous amount of oil (not listed in ingredients), and place it on top of the dish.
  • Cook until the egg white is crispy (this is the way they do it in Thailand).
  • Serve the rice with stir-fried chicken and basil.
  • Top with the fried egg, lemon and basil.
  • Enjoy.
