• 4 Tbsp fish sauce

• 2 Tbsp oyster sauce

Pokyny

Cook rice according to package instructions.

1. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add optional chicken and cook (covered) until barely cooked through.

2. Add onion and mushrooms and cook until softening.

3. While vegetables are cooking, whisk sauce ingredients together. Start slowly, adding broth to corn starch in small amounts to make a paste. When starch is dissolved you can be faster dumping in the other sauce ingredients.

4. Add carrot, sauce, ginger, garlic, and sugar. Cook until carrot starts to soften.

5. Add peppers and broccoli. Cook until broccoli is bright green but still partially crisp.

6. If frying egg, do so in separate pan while broccoli is still cooking, frying egg briefly so that yolk is still runny.

7. Stir in Thai basil to main mixture, turning heat off, and stirring until basil starts to wilt.

8. Serve immediately on rice. Top with fried egg if desired.

Poznámky

From Rachel: The runny yolk of the egg helps balance the heat if you added a lot of chili peppers.
