Stir-fry sauce

Cooked white rice

What You'll Need

Vegetable oil

Fish sauce or soy sauce

Step 1

Trim and cut half of the green beans into bite-size pieces. Slice the shallot. Slice 4 cloves garlic. Slice the chile pepper, removing the seeds if you prefer less heat. Pick the basil leaves and toss the stems. Cut the lime into wedges for serving.

Step 2

In a large wok or sauté pan over medium-high heat, warm 3 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add the shallot, chile, and garlic and stir-fry until golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the green beans and stir-fry until tender-crisp, 3 minutes. Transfer the green bean mixture to a bowl.

Step 3

Return the pan to the heat, and add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add the chicken and stir-fry until no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Return the green bean mixture to the pan, drizzle with the stir-fry sauce, and season to taste with fish sauce or soy sauce. Fold in the basil leaves last.

Step 4

Reheat the rice in the microwave until steamed through and warm, 1 to 2 minutes or according to package instructions.

Step 5

Heap the rice on plates and spoon the basil chicken and vegetables over. Serve warm, with the lime wedges for squeezing.
