Ingredients
Instructions
Whisk together the sugar, Oyster sauce, fish sauce, and soy sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
Cook the chilies, shallots, and garlic - Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the oil, shallots, chilies, and garlic. Mix well to combine and fry over high heat for 2-3 minutes. Stir often to prevent burning.
Add the chicken - Add the ground chicken and fry for 2-3 minutes, breaking up into smaller bits and pieces while mixing with the shallots, chilies, and garlic.
Add the soy sauce mixture - Pour the mixture of sugar, oyster sauce, fish sauce, and soy sauce(s) over the chicken and cook, stirring continuously, for 1-2 minutes. With the wok still over high heat, add the chicken broth (or water) and de-glaze any brown bits stuck to the bottom of your wok or skillet.
Stir in the basil - Add the basil and continue to cook until wilted. Serve with white or brown rice.
