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

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.

Instructions to make to make Accessible Thai Basil Chicken
