• 2 pieces red chilies (sliced)
• 1 tablespoon ginger (grated)

• 0.5 cup Thai basil leaves (fresh)
• 2 pieces green onions (sliced)
• 4 cups cooked jasmine rice (for serving)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic, sliced red chilies, and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Increase the heat to high, add the chicken pieces, and cook for 5-6 minutes until they are no longer pink and lightly browned.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice. Pour this sauce mixture over the chicken.

Step 6

Stir in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
