Ingredients
- 500 grams minced chicken
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 5 cloves garlic
- 4 pieces Bird’s eye chilies
- 1 cup fresh Thai basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 cups steamed jasmine rice
Directions
Step 1
Peel the garlic and finely chop it along with the Bird's eye chilies. Adjust the quantity of chilies depending on your spice tolerance.
Step 2
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the chopped garlic and chilies to the pan, stirring quickly to avoid burning. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the minced chicken to the pan and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, breaking up the meat with a spatula, until it is no longer pink.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and water to create the sauce.
Step 6
Pour the sauce mixture into the pan and stir well to coat the chicken evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Step 7
Add the Thai basil leaves to the pan and stir-fry for about 30 seconds, just until the leaves wilt and release their aroma.
Step 8
Remove the pan from heat and serve the Gai Krapow immediately over a bed of steamed jasmine rice.
