Thai Fried Rice
- 1/2 cup peanut oil
- 2 chicken breasts cut into 1/4"x2inch slices
- 4+ cups cold precooked rice, older is better so it has dried out and is not sticky, broken up in a bowl so no clumps
- 4-6 garlic cloves minced
- 2-4 T ginger minced
- 4-6 Thai bird chilis minced
- 2-4 T lemongrass bottom ends sliced thin
- 1 red bell pepper chopped rough
- 1 large shallot minced
- 2 cups thai basil leaves, roughly chopped
- broccoli florets steamed for 2 minutes
- cilantro, one bunch of separated leaves roughly chopped
- Sauce:
- 6 T oyster sauce
- 4 T fish sauce
- 1 T sugar
- juice of half a lime
- You don't have to use all the sauce, put in 1/2 and add as you need to get the right consistency
- In wok, heat oil to almost smoking. Add garlic through shallot and stir constantly for about a minute then add chicken and cook until not pink.
- Add sauce and saute for a few minutes. (You can remove chicken and sauce at this point for your carb free crowd.) Add rice. Stir every few minutes so rice does not brown/burn. When heated, add broccoli and basil and continue stirring, lower heat.
- Transfer to bowls, garnish with cilantro.
