How to make it
- For the sauce:
- To make the sauce, combine the fish sauce, mirin, tamari, sugar, chili garlic sauce, cornstarch and water until sugar is dissolved.
- For the chicken:
- I heated my Lodge 12 inch cast iron skillet or wok over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the oil and the chicken to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until the meat is seared and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- Add the bell pepper and onion and continue cooking and stirring until the onions are softened, about 1 minute, then stir in the garlic and chili pepper.
- Stir in the sauce mixture and bring to a boil. Cook for another minute, then remove from the heat and add the basil leaves.
- Serve over cooked rice or rice noodles to soak up the delicious sauce.
- Notes:
- You can make this dish as spicy as you like with more (or less) fresh red chili, or add crushed red chili.
- If you don't want to use chicken, you can use turkey or pork, peeled shrimp or cubed firm tofu.
