Yesterday, I did a relatively simple chicken dish with basil leaves. I love every bit about basil leaves. It has a very strong fragrance and goes very well with meat. If you like basil leaves, you can consider to try this dish too.

What you need:

200 – 300 gms of chicken meat
2 tablespoons of oyster sauce
1 clove of garlic (sliced into small pieces)
1/4 bowl of water (small bowl)
Basil leaves

Method of preparation:

First of all, cut the chicken meat into small chunks and put them in a bowl. Marinate the chicken meat with oyster sauce. Add a few pieces of the basil leaves into the chicken as well. Mix the chicken and sauce evenly and leave it marinate for about 15-20 minutes.

Next, heat up the wok / frying pan with some oil over a medium flame. Put in the garlic and stir fry till they develop a light shade of brown. After that, put in the marinated chicken meat and stir fry the chicken meat evenly.

Once the chicken meat is cooked, put in the basil leaves and stir fry the chicken and leaves for a short while till they are evenly mixed.

Lift the chicken and basil leaves of the wok / frying pan and serve.

This is how the dish looked like when it’s served:

Err, I never tried basil leaves before… does the taste nice? Is it bitter?

blurryleo: { for basil leaves, it’s really very much depending on individual due to the strong fragrance. you’ll either love it or hate it. if you haven’t tried that, you should give it a try and decide later if you like it . Have fun trying }
