Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Thai Basil Chicken with Eggs.
Step 1
Begin by lightly spraying a skillet with cooking spray and warming it over medium heat.
Step 2
Pour in the eggs and scramble them until they are fully cooked, which should take about five minutes.
Step 3
While the eggs are cooking, divide the cooked rice into two bowls and set them aside, ready to be topped with the fluffy scrambled eggs.
Step 4
Next, in a mortar and pestle or a food processor, combine the Thai chile peppers and garlic, grinding them together until they form a fine mixture that releases a tantalizing aroma.
Step 5
Once the eggs are done, give the skillet another quick spray and raise the heat to medium-high.
Step 6
Add the fragrant pepper-garlic blend and sauté for about a minute, or until the garlic turns a lovely golden brown.
Step 7
Toss in the chicken pieces, stirring frequently until they are halfway cooked, which should take around three minutes.
Step 8
Now, stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and a pinch of sugar, continuing to cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, approximately three more minutes.
Step 9
Finally, fold in the Thai basil leaves, stirring just until they wilt, which should take about ten seconds.
Step 10
Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the savory chicken mixture generously over the rice and eggs, creating a delightful meal that’s bursting with flavor.
Step 11
Enjoy this vibrant dish that brings a taste of Thailand to your table!.
