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.

Ingredients

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)

Directions

Whisk together oyster sauce, fish sauce, and sugar in a small bowl; set aside.
Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat until oil begins to smoke. Add garlic and serrano peppers, stirring quickly. Stir in chicken, bell pepper, onion, and oyster sauce mixture; cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
Increase heat to high and stir in chilled rice; stir quickly until sauce is well blended with rice. Use the back of a spoon to break up any rice sticking together.
Remove the wok from heat. Stir in basil leaves. Garnish with sliced cucumber and cilantro.
