Can you give me the recipe for that Thai dish? It sounds yummy!
Sure here it is:
I changed the recipe a bit, but it tastes wonderfully. It is for 12 to 24 servings, but I will split the recipe in half for 6 to 12 servings for you.
Chop the followings:
12 to 15 red chili peppers, chopped
3 to 4 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
half to one pound chicken, beef, or pork, diced in small cubes about 1/2 inches or smaller
one whole medium onion, cut in lengthwise from top to bottom
one green peppers, also cut in lengthwise from top to bottom
about 12 to 24 cherry tomatoes, quartered
Asian mushrooms, soaked in water for one hour, chopped
bamboo shoots
About 2 cups basil, chopped
Put in one small bowl the following:
6 tbsp fish sauce (nuoc mam in Vietnamese)
4 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp oyster sauce
In another bowl, put:
2 or 3 tablespoons sugar
some black pepper
1) You need to prepare all ingredients beforehand, as this is extremely fast cooking.
2) Put a pot or wok to a hot heat (high). Put some oil (vegetable, about 4 to 5 tbsp) in the pot. Let the oil become very, very hot.
3) Put garlic in the pot, let cook quickly until golden brown, but not burnt.
4) Put chili in the pot and stand back, it will become extremely fragnant in about 30 seconds.
5) Put meat in the pot, and let it cook until it is all browned.
6) Sprinkle the sugar and pepper mixture into pot, stir until blended.
7) Pour fish sauce mixture into pot, stir for about 1 minute as it cooks quickly.
8) Stir 3/4 of the basil into the pot, let it wilt a bit.
9) Remove from heat, put in rest of the vegetables and basil.
10) Serve with rice or can be cooked with flat noodles.
