directions

  • Place garlic and whole chiles in a mortar and pound to a paste or mince finely.
  • Place a large wok over high heat. When it is hot, add oil; swirl gently to coat the pan.
  • Toss in garlic mixture; stir-fry for 30 seconds or until the garlic is just golden.
  • Add chicken; stir-fry for 3 to 6 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through, using a spatula to separate clumps and to press the meat against the hot wok.
  • Add cayenne chiles, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar and black pepper; stir-fry briefly. Add Thai basil; stir-fry until wilted (one quick stir), about 1 1/2 minutes, then turn out onto a large plate or shallow serving dish. Serve immediately.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
