How to Make Thai Chicken Stir Fried With Holy Basil Gai Pad Graprow

  1. Rinse and pick through 1 cup of fresh holy basil leaves (or substitute with 1 cup fresh basil, or ½ cup Thai basil and ½ cup fresh mint leaves). If using dried holy basil, soak 2 tablespoons in warm water for 10-15 minutes. Remove stems and drain.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke.
  3. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 2 finely sliced shallots. Stir-fry for 15 seconds.
  4. Add 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until lightly browned.
  5. Add 2-4 fresh Thai chilies (adjust to your spice preference), thinly sliced, and 2-3 slivered kaffir lime leaves (optional). Stir-fry for 30 seconds.
  6. Add the drained holy basil (fresh or reconstituted).
  7. Add 1 tablespoon black soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon fish sauce (adjust to taste). Stir-fry for another minute.
  8. Add the fresh basil leaves and stir well to wilt, about 30 seconds.
  9. Season with freshly ground white pepper to taste.
  10. Serve hot over steamed rice. Garnish with extra holy basil, if desired.
