Stir-Fried Chicken with Chillies & Basil
Heat a wok or large frying pan until very hot. Add 1 tbsp of the oil. When very hot, add the chicken and stir-fry over high heat for 8–10 minutes until browned all over. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Reheat the wok and add the remaining 1 tbsp oil. Add the garlic and shallots and stir-fry for 3 minutes until golden brown.
Step 3
Return the chicken to the wok and add the chillies, fish sauce, dark soy sauce and sugar. Stir-fry over high heat for a further 8–10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
