Recipe #26 - Thai-style Stir Fry Chicken and Basil

| Tuesday, February 10, 2009

The last (and best?) recipe of the Super Bowl of cooking.  Yes, I'm very very very late in getting these up to date.  I suck.

So I needed some sort of meaty kind of dish for the Super Bowl party (of 4), so I chose this one.  It's a pretty typical stir-fry, first frying the onion, ginger and garlic in oil, then removing the vegetables, replacing with the chicken and cooking with more garlic and ginger.  Finally, I dumped the vegetables back in with the chicken and cooked them through.  At the end, I tossed in some shredded basil.  The recipe recommended Thai basil, but I wasn't about to go to an asian market just for that, so regular basil it is.

I served them with lettuce wraps, In a desperate ploy to make them seem healthy.

It was really, really good.  There was a near-universal consensus that this was the best of all the things I made, which is saying something considering I made about a billion recipes.

Notes: I used a bit more ginger than needed, I think, but it was still good.

Modifications: Use Thai basil next time.  Serve with rice maybe?

Make again?: Yes, definitely.
