Ingredients
- 400 g chicken breast
- 250 g oyster mushrooms or button mushrooms
- 2 shallots
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 red chili
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 handful fresh Thai basil leaves
- 4 lime wedges
Directions
Step 1
Slice the chicken breasts into thin, bite-sized strips and set aside.
Step 2
Clean the mushrooms and slice them into thin pieces if large.
Step 3
Peel and finely slice the shallots. Mince the garlic. Slice the red chili thinly (deseed if you prefer less heat).
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Add the shallots, garlic, and chili to the hot oil. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 6
Increase the heat to high and add the chicken to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the chicken is halfway cooked and no longer pink on the outside.
Step 7
Add the mushrooms to the pan and continue stir-frying for another 3 minutes until they start to soften.
Step 8
In a small bowl, mix the fish sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and water. Pour this sauce mixture into the pan and stir well to coat everything evenly.
Step 9
Cook for 2-3 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the mushrooms are tender. Check seasoning and adjust if needed.
Step 10
Turn off the heat and stir in the Thai basil leaves until wilted.
Step 11
Serve hot with steamed jasmine rice and lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish.
