SAMPLE RECIPE
Chicken with Chillies and Basil (pictured left)
This traditional dish, called gai phad bai krapao, is very easy to prepare.
Although ordinary fresh basil is fine, if you can find Thai basil, its unique,
pungent aroma makes the dish especially mouth-watering.
Serves 4
2 tbsp ground nut oil
450g (1lb) boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 2.5cm (1in) pieces
3 tbsp finely sliced shallots
3 tbsp chopped garlic
for the sauce
3 fresh red or green Thai chilli peppers, de-seeded and finely shredded
2 tbsp fish sauce (nam pla)
2 tsp dark soy sauce
2 tsp sugar
a large handful of basil leaves
Step one – Heat a wok or large frying pan until it is very hot, then add 1 tablespoon of the oil. When it is very hot, add the chicken and stir-fry over a high heat for 8 minutes, until browned all over. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken to a colander or sieve to drain.
Step two – Reheat the wok and add the remaining oil. Toss in the shallots
and garlic and stir-fry for 3 minutes, until they are golden brown.
Step three Return the chicken to the wok and add the chilli peppers, fish sauce,
dark soy sauce and sugar. Stir-fry over a high heat for 8 minutes or until the
chicken is cooked through. Stir in the basil leaves and serve at once.
