Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Slice the protein of your choice (beef, pork, squid, or chicken) into thin strips and set aside. Clean and slice the mushrooms, onion, and bell pepper. Rinse the Thai basil leaves and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, chili paste, minced garlic, black pepper, and sugar. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  2. 4

    Cook the Protein

    Add the sliced protein to the hot pan and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. 5

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pan, add the sliced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften. Then add the sliced mushrooms and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  4. 6

    Combine Everything

    Return the cooked protein to the pan with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over the mixture and toss everything together to coat. Add the Thai basil leaves and stir-fry for another minute until the basil is wilted.

  5. 7

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve hot. Adjust the spiciness by adding more chili paste if desired.
