Thai Basil Chicken Stir-fry, also known as Gai Pad Grapow, is a quick and flavorful Thai dish packed with aromatic basil, tender chicken, and vibrant peppers. It's a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and spicy flavors.

Ingredients: 1 lb boneless chicken, thinly sliced. 2 tbsp vegetable oil. 4 cloves garlic, minced. 2-3 Thai bird's eye chilies, chopped adjust to spice preference. 1 red bell pepper, sliced. 1 green bell pepper, sliced. 1 cup fresh Thai basil leaves. 2 tbsp soy sauce. 1 tbsp oyster sauce. 1 tsp fish sauce. 1 tsp sugar. 1/2 tsp black soy sauce optional, for color. Cooked jasmine rice, for serving.

Instructions: In a wok or large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over high heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped Thai chilies. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant, but be careful not to burn them. Add the thinly sliced chicken to the wok and stir-fry until it turns white and is mostly cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Add the sliced red and green bell peppers to the wok and continue stir-frying for another 2-3 minutes until the peppers start to soften.
