Recipe #333164 | 40 min | 20 min prep | add private note

Adapted (liberally) from Simply THAI Cooking, this is a favorite in our house, as testified by the badly stained page in my cookbook. Can also sub pork for the chicken. Change vege to suit your taste - green beans are nice instead of bok choy. Prep all ingredients, including the sauces, before starting to cook.

SERVES 3 -4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Sauce 1

Sauce 2

Sauce 3

Directions

  1. 1
    Heat oil in wok. Stir-fry onions, peppers, and white part of bok-choy until crisp tender. Remove and keep warm.
  2. 2
    Add oil to wok if needed and stir-fry chicken, garlic, and pepper flakes until chicken is done. Add sauces in order, stirring between each addition to coat. Add cooked vegetables back and stir to coat.
  3. 3
    Add green part of bok choy and basil, stirring just unti hot-crisp, and beginning to wilt. Serve immediately.

    Definitely overflowing with flavor and healthy too! Ended up doubling the sauces because we added extra veggies which I think was important.

    I fixed this pretty much as directed. It was a big hit. The red peppers, green bok choy and onions ( I used red and yellow) made for a colorful dish.

    Delicious. I used sliced chicken thigh meat, but otherwise followed the recipe. The chicken was moist and tender, and the veggies and sauces gave it a wonderful flavor. I served it over rice. Made for My Three Chefs Fall 2008.
