Ingredients | Crispy Chicken Basil Thai

2 cups chicken broth

2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger, divided

1 tablespoon coarsely chopped cilantro stems

1 clove garlic, crushed

2 whole star anise pods

1 ½ cups water

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup jasmine rice

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, thinly sliced

1 teaspoon Thai red curry paste

1 tablespoon peanut oil

3 Thai bird chiles, minced

1 tablespoon minced shallot

1 clove garlic, minced

4 heads baby bok choy, chopped

4 shiitake mushrooms, sliced

1 teaspoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon fish sauce

1 teaspoon soy sauce

½ teaspoon brown sugar

1 lime

½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

6 leaves Thai basil, chopped

Directions

Combine chicken broth, 1 tablespoon ginger, cilantro stems, crushed garlic, and star anise pods in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to simmer.

Combine water and salt in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Stir in jasmine rice. Reduce heat to low and cover; cook until rice absorbs the water, about 15 minutes.

Mix chicken thighs with curry paste.

Heat peanut oil in a wok or large skillet until shimmering. Add remaining 1 tablespoon ginger, chiles, shallot, and minced garlic; cook and stir until beginning to color and soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in chicken and cook until no longer pink, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in bok choy and shiitake mushrooms; cook for 3 to 4 minutes.

Ladle 1 cup chicken broth mixture into a bowl; whisk in cornstarch.

Pour chicken broth-cornstarch mixture into the wok. Stir in fish sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Thin sauce with more chicken broth if it appears too thick. Squeeze lime juice into the sauce.

Serve chicken over rice, garnished with cilantro and Thai basil.
