This Thai basil fried rice is a staple of Thai cooking and a great use for leftover rice. Adjust the spices to your tastes. I get Thai basil from a local Asian market. It has a different flavor than regular basil and makes all the difference in this recipe. It is fast and fairly easy to make but requires constant stirring.
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon white sugar
½ cup peanut oil for frying
6 large cloves garlic clove, crushed
2 serrano peppers, crushed
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into thin strips
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 onion, thinly sliced
4 cups cooked jasmine rice, chilled
2 cups sweet Thai basil
1 cucumber, sliced (Optional)
½ cup cilantro sprigs (Optional)
