I used to live in a neighborhood with several big Asian markets, but our current place is a good hour away from access to a wide variety of Asian ingredients. And because I'm frankly too lazy to drive too far too often to get my groceries, I've had to come up with workable substitutions over the years. There are just some things you can't get around when you're making Thai food - like fish sauce. But the good thing is more and more markets are carrying stuff like fish sauce (as well as the oyster sauce in this recipe) in the Asian foods section. Worst case scenario, you can get the stuff online. The other ingredients, like ketchup and lime juice, and red chili flakes (like the kind you put on pizza and pasta), as it turns out, are a fairly good substitute for tamarind and dried Thai chilies. :) If you want to enjoy this with steamed rice, get the rice started right before you start prepping, and you should be good to go by the time you're done cooking the chicken. Also, if you can't get your hands on Thai basil, Italian (sweet) basil makes a yummy substitution. It lacks the black licorice note of Thai basil, but it's still delicious in this dish, and I've used it plenty of times when the Thai basil in my garden isn't so prolific. You'll notice that I recommend cooking the food in small batches, and that's because our home stoves rarely get hot enough for us to stir fry in large batches without creating lots of steam and making the veg more mushy than crisp.
Ingredients and spices that need to be Get to make Accessible Thai Basil Chicken:
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken, cut into 1/4"thick slices that are about 1.5" long AND seasoned with 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large bell pepper, cut into 1/2" strips vertically
- 1 large onion, cut into 1/2" strips vertically
- 4 large cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
- fresh (Thai) basil leaves to taste (At least about 20, but I LOVE Thai basil, so I probably put in, like 100)
- vegetable oil
- For the sauce, MIX TOGETHER IN A SMALL BOWL:
- 2 Tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1-2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 Tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 Tablespoon ketchup
- 1/2-1 Tablespoon sugar
- crushed red chili flakes to taste (About 1/4 teaspoon for the tiniest bit of heat, and adjusting up for as much heat as you like. I do a Tablespoon or more, but I'm a chili head.)
Steps to make to make Accessible Thai Basil Chicken
- Preheat a large work or saute pan with 1 teaspoon oil to high, then saute half of the chicken at a time until all the pieces are almost cooked through (opaque), then add half of the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds or so. When the first batch is done, set it aside on a large baking sheet or platter and repeat the process with the other half of the chicken and garlic (with another teaspoon of oil). White meat should take 3 to 4 minutes per batch to cook through, dark meat 5 to 6 minutes.
- Keeping the heat high, add another teaspoon of oil and stir fry half of your veg along with half your basil leaves until the onions turn translucent. Set the first half of the cooked veg and basil leaves aside with the cooked chicken and repeat the process with the second half of the veg and basil leaves.
- When the second batch of veg is done, keep it in your pan and set it to the side, making a well in the center. Add another teaspoon of oil and let it heat up for 10 seconds or so. Then pour in the sauce and let it cook and caramelize in the hot oil, undisturbed, for 10 to 20 seconds. Pour in the rest of the cooked ingredients and stir to thoroughly incorporate the seasoning.
