One Night in Bangkok

Full disclosure, I have never been to Thailand, although it is a lifelong dream. Where else can you scuba dive, eat delicious food, ride an elephant and see a man wrestle an alligator?

I love Thai food and found a winner of a recipe. It's with a spicy Thai Basil Sauce.

Here's the recipe for the sauce:

1 cup chopped basil leaves, chopped course
3/4 c. low sodium chicken broth
2 tbsp. fish sauce (I used oyster sauce)
1 tbsp. Asian chili sauce (I used half to make it less spicy)
2 tsp. brown sugar
2 tsp. corn starch

For the stir fry:

1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1 inch chunks
2 tsp. soy sauce
2 tbsp. penut or vegetable oil
spicy basil sauce (see above)
snow peas
1.5 cups julienned carrots
1 bell pepper, cored, seeded and sliced
3 cloves garlic minced
1 tbsp. fresh grated ginger

Toss chicken in soy sauce and cook in oil until browned
Add more oil to pan and cook carrots and peppers until lightly browned, 5-6 minutes
Add snow peas and cook 1-2 minutes
Clear center of pan and add more oil and garlic and ginger, cook, mashing into pan with spatula about 30 seconds
Stir in chicken and thai basil sauce, cook until sauce thickens

Serve over rice
