1/3 cup sesame oil

10 garlic cloves, minced

1/3 cup soy sauce

1/3 cup rice wine

3 tablespoons sugar

1/2 cups basil

Directions:

Heat up the sesame oil in a wok or a large skillet on high heat.

Add garlic, ginger and Serrano peppers, stir fry until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Add the chicken pieces and cook until it's white in color, about 5 minutes.

Stir together the soy sauce, rice wine and sugar in a bowl, pour over chicken.

Bring to a boil, and then turn down the heat to low.

Let cook, uncovered, until sauce thickens, about 30 minutes.

Turn heat back up to high and add basil and scallions, cook for another 2 minutes.

Serve over steamed rice.
