Spicy Thai Basil Chicken with Bok Choy and Shiitakes

A spicy, non-Western stir-fry-style bowl with ground chicken, bok choy, mushrooms, and chilies. It takes cues from Thai basil stir-fry flavors without repeating your previous curry shrimp dish.

Instructions

  1. If serving with rice, start 2 cups cooked jasmine rice first.
  2. Slice the bok choy, separating stems from leaves. Slice 4-6 ounces shiitake mushrooms. Mince 3 garlic cloves, slice 1-2 Thai chilies, and cut 2 green onions into 1-inch pieces. Pick Thai basil leaves.
  3. Mix a quick sauce: 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, and juice of half the lime.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the ground chicken and cook, breaking it up, until browned and mostly cooked through, 5-6 minutes.
  5. Add mushrooms, bok choy stems, garlic, and chilies. Stir-fry 2-3 minutes until fragrant and lightly softened.
  6. Add the sauce and toss for 1 minute. Add bok choy leaves and green onions; cook just until wilted.
  7. Turn off heat and fold in Thai basil leaves. Taste and add black pepper or more lime juice if needed.
  8. Serve over jasmine rice with lime wedges on the side.
