Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 tbsps canola oil
5 oz of chicken, beef, pork, shrimp or scallops
2 or 3 large slices of yellow onion, halved
4 or 5 large slices of red bell pepper
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
2 fresh Thai chilis, finely chopped
1/2 to 1 jalapeno pepper, medium sliced
1 dozen sweet basil leaves
4 or 5 fresh mushrooms with stems, thickly sliced
1/4 cup water
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tsp fish sauce
1 tbsp Thai seasoning sauce
1 tsp sugar

Steps:

Put canola oil in a wok on high heat. Place small to medium slices of meat in the hot oil and cook for about one minute. (If using seafood instead, which cooks more quickly, it will be added in the final minute of cooking time.) Add in the other ingredients and begin to stir with a large wooden spoon. Then add the appropriate sauce, continuing to stir for about two more minutes. Do not overcook the vegetables, so they remain crunch and flavorful...this is essential in Thai cooking. Serve with steamed white or brown rice that has been prepared ahead of time and kept covered.
