When it comes to cooking, it's important to keep in mind that every one started somewhere. I don't know of a single person who came to be with a wooden cooking spoon and ready to go. There is a whole lot of learning that must be completed in order to be a prolific cook and then there is always room for advancement. Not only can you need to begin with the basics when it comes to cooking however, you almost need to begin again if learning to cook a fresh cuisine such as Chinese, Chinese, Thai, or Indian food.

Healthy cooking is often difficult since many people do not need to spend time planning and preparing meals which our own families will not eat. At exactly the same time, we want our own families to be healthy so we feel compelled to learn improved and new methods of cooking healthy foods to our family to enjoy (and regrettably in some instances scorn).

With nourishment and weight being known as at fault in so many health and fitness issues it is impossible to ignore the importance of not eating ourselves but also of teaching our children the value of eating healthy. 1 way to insure your loved ones are infact eating healthy is to make sure you are eating healthy and wholesome meals to them. This doesn't imply you can't like the occasional calorie splurge and maybe that you should not. The key to cooking healthy is learning how to control portions and understanding the value of moderation.

Many things affect the quality of taste from Accessible Thai Basil Chicken, starting from the type of ingredients, then the selection of fresh ingredients, the ability to cut dishes to how to make and serve them. Don't worry if you want to prepare Accessible Thai Basil Chicken delicious at home, because if you already know the trick then this dish can be used as an extraordinary special treat.

As for the number of servings that can be served to make Accessible Thai Basil Chicken is 4 servings. So make sure this portion is enough to serve for yourself and your beloved family.

Just in addition, the time it takes to cook Accessible Thai Basil Chicken estimated approx 30 to 45 minutes.

To get started with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can have Accessible Thai Basil Chicken using 13 ingredients and 4 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

I used to live in a neighborhood with several big Asian markets, but our current place is a good hour away from access to a wide variety of Asian ingredients. And because I'm frankly too lazy to drive too far too often to get my groceries, I've had to come up with workable substitutions over the years.

There are just some things you can't get around when you're making Thai food - like fish sauce. But the good thing is more and more markets are carrying stuff like fish sauce (as well as the oyster sauce in this recipe) in the Asian foods section. Worst case scenario, you can get the stuff online.

The other ingredients, like ketchup and lime juice, and red chili flakes (like the kind you put on pizza and pasta), as it turns out, are a fairly good substitute for tamarind and dried Thai chilies. :)

If you want to enjoy this with steamed rice, get the rice started right before you start prepping, and you should be good to go by the time you're done cooking the chicken.

Also, if you can't get your hands on Thai basil, Italian (sweet) basil makes a yummy substitution. It lacks the black licorice note of Thai basil, but it's still delicious in this dish, and I've used it plenty of times when the Thai basil in my garden isn't so prolific.

You'll notice that I recommend cooking the food in small batches, and that's because our home stoves rarely get hot enough for us to stir fry in large batches without creating lots of steam and making the veg more mushy than crisp.

3. 1 large onion, cut into 1/2" strips vertically

Instructions to make Accessible Thai Basil Chicken

1. Preheat a large work or saute pan with 1 teaspoon oil to high, then saute half of the chicken at a time until all the pieces are almost cooked through (opaque), then add half of the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds or so.
   
   When the first batch is done, set it aside on a large baking sheet or platter and repeat the process with the other half of the chicken and garlic (with another teaspoon of oil).
   
   White meat should take 3 to 4 minutes per batch to cook through, dark meat 5 to 6 minutes.
2. Keeping the heat high, add another teaspoon of oil and stir fry half of your veg along with half your basil leaves until the onions turn translucent.
   
   Set the first half of the cooked veg and basil leaves aside with the cooked chicken and repeat the process with the second half of the veg and basil leaves.
3. When the second batch of veg is done, keep it in your pan and set it to the side, making a well in the center. Add another teaspoon of oil and let it heat up for 10 seconds or so.
   
   Then pour in the sauce and let it cook and caramelize in the hot oil, undisturbed, for 10 to 20 seconds. Pour in the rest of the cooked ingredients and stir to thoroughly incorporate the seasoning.
