Ingredients

⅓ cup Chicken broth
1 tsp Oyster sauce
2 tsp Soy sauce
2 tsp Fish sauce
1 tsp Brown sugar
2 tsp vegetable oil
2 Chicken thighs cubed
¼ cup Shallots sliced
1 tsp Minced garlic
1 tsp Minced Thai chiles
1 cup Basil leaves shredded

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, and brown sugar, then set it aside.
In a wok or large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook, stirring regularly, for 2 to 3 minutes.
Add in the shallots, chiles, and garlic, stir and continue cooking for 1 minute.
Next, add ½ of the sauce mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until it begins to caramelize.
Add the rest of the sauce, and continue cooking for 4 to 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Reduce the heat to low and add in the basil and stir. Continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes, until the basil has wilted. Serve with rice.
