Spicy Thai Basil Chicken Fried Rice

This aromatic variation infuses the classic dish with the distinct anise-like flavor of fresh Thai basil and a savory blend of oyster and fish sauces. Inspired by the popular street food Pad Krapow, it offers a perfect balance of heat and savory richness suitable for a quick weeknight meal.

Ingredients

3 cups cooked jasmine rice, chilled (day-old is best)
1 lb chicken breast or thighs, diced into small pieces
1 cup fresh Thai basil leaves
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp fish sauce
1 tsp sugar
1-2 fresh red chilies, sliced (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, whisk together the oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, and sugar. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beaten eggs and scramble quickly until set. Remove eggs from the pan and set aside.

  3. 3

    Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add the diced chicken and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until cooked through and slightly browned.

  4. 4

    Add the minced garlic and sliced chilies to the chicken, stirring constantly for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Toss in the red bell pepper and cook for another minute.

  6. 6

    Add the chilled rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps with your spatula. Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the rice.

  7. 7

    Stir-fry everything vigorously for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the rice is coated in sauce and heated through.

  8. 8

    Return the cooked eggs to the pan and fold in the fresh Thai basil leaves. Remove from heat immediately as the residual heat will wilt the basil perfectly. Serve hot.
