Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast half
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
1/4 tsp hot chili flakes
2/3 cup chicken broth ( fat-skimmed)
1 tbsp asian fish sauce ( nuoc mam or nam pla)
2 tsp cornstarch
3 cups lightly packed fresh basil leaves, rinsed
salt

Directions:

Rinse chicken and pat dry.
Cut crosswise into 1/8-inch thick strips 2 to 3 inches long.
Place a nonstick frying pan over high heat.
When hot, add oil, garlic, ginger, chili flakes and the chicken.
Stir until chicken is no longer pink in the center (cut to test), 3 to 4 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix chicken broth, fish sauce and cornstarch until smooth.
Add to pan and stir until sauce is boiling, about 1 minute.
Add basil leaves and stir just until barely wilted, about 30 seconds.
Add salt to taste and pour into a serving bowl.
