Recipe - Thai Chicken With Fresh Basil

3 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
1 pound Chicken breast (boned)
2 tablespoon Garlic; coarsely chopped
3 tablespoon Nuoc Nam (fish sauce)
Three fourths cup Basil, thinly cut or sliced up
2 tablespoon Sugar
2 Serrano chilies
2 tablespoon Water

Skin chicken and cut into 1.25 X 1 in strips. Remove stems from chilies
and cut lengthwise into thin strips (discard the seeds). Heat oil in wok or
large skillet over high heat. Add garlic and stir until golden brown, about
10 seconds. Add 0.5 cup of basil and the chilies and stirfry just until
basil wilts, about 1 minute. Add chicken and stirfry about 3 minutes. Add
nuoc mam, water and sugar and stirfry until sauce bubbles and thickens
slightly, about 2 minutes. Add remaining 0.25 cup of basil and stirfry
until just wilted, about 5 seconds. Serve immediately with steamed rice...
