Ingredients

  • 3-4 Thai chilies, finely chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp fish sauce
  • 1.5 tsp dark soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp water
  • 1.5 tsp sugar

  • 400 g (1 lbs) ground chicken or beef
  • 1 cup green beans, cut into small bite size pieces

Directions

  1. Add the 3-4 chopped Thai chilies to a mortar and pestle and pound until smashed.
  2. Add the 5 cloves of chopped garlic to the mortar and pound again until a very rough paste begins to form.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the 1 Tbsp oyster sauce, 2 tsp soy sauce, 2 tsp fish sauce, 1.5 tsp dark soy sauce, 2 Tbsp water, and 1.5 tsp of sugar.
  4. In a large nonstick skillet or wok, saute the garlic-chili paste in a little vegetable oil over medium high heat until the garlic starts to turn golden.
  5. Add the 400 g of ground chicken and cook, stirring constantly, until it separates and has turned opaque on all sides.
  6. Add the mixed sauce to the skillet and continue to cook until the chicken is almost cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  7. Add the one diced onion and 1 cup of green beans and continue to stir to combine. Cook until green beans are tender and chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes.
  8. When cooked, remove skillet from the heat and stir in the Thai basil. Taste and adjust for seasoning as needed. Serve with white rice.
