Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
In a wok over high heat, add the oil, chilies, shallots and garlic, and fry for 1-2 minutes.

Add the ground chicken and stir-fry for 2 minutes, breaking up the chicken into small bits.

Add the sugar, soy sauce, and fish sauce. Stir-fry for another minute and deglaze the pan with the broth. Because your pan is over high heat, the liquid should cook off very quickly.

Add the basil, and stir-fry until wilted. Serve over rice.
