How to Make Ground Chicken Stir Fried With Basil Kai Pad Bai Kaprow

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 medium onion (thinly sliced), 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 2 green onions (chopped), 2-3 Thai chilies (finely chopped, adjust to your spice preference), and 1 tablespoon grated ginger. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, until onions are softened.
  2. Add 1 pound ground chicken and sauté until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons fish sauce and 1 tablespoon brown sugar.
  4. Pour the fish sauce and brown sugar mixture into the chicken and basil mixture. Stir to thoroughly coat the chicken.
  5. Continue to sauté for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. Serve hot over steamed rice. Garnish with extra fresh basil leaves, if desired.
