  • 250 grams chicken thighs or chicken breast
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1.5 teaspoons dark soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • Pinch ground white pepper
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil (divided)
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 onion (sliced)
  • 23 Thai red chili peppers
  • 45 baby bok choy
  • 1 cup holy basil
  • 1/4 cup chicken stock or water

Instructions

  1. Cut chicken against the grain into thin strips and marinate with 1 teaspoon of soy sauce for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Prepare rice noodles according to package instructions, soaking them in hot water until softened for about 15-20 minutes, then drain.
  3. Clean and cut baby bok choy into bite-sized pieces and pluck holy basil leaves from stems.
  4. In a bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients together until well combined.
  5. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat, add marinated chicken and sear for 2 minutes without disturbing it, then flip and sear for another minute until nearly cooked through. Remove from heat, cover, and set aside.
  6. Clean the skillet/wok if necessary, add remaining oil, and sauté sliced onion for about 30 seconds before adding minced garlic and red chili peppers; cook for another minute.
  7. Add bok choy to the skillet and stir-fry for about 30 seconds on medium-high heat.
  8. Add drained rice noodles, cooked chicken with juices, Thai basil, and green onions to the wok. Pour sauce around edges of the pan and toss everything over high heat until well coated.
  9. Serve hot with additional green onion on top.
