Step 1

For the stir-fry sauce, mix all the ingredients in a small bowl.

Step 2

Heat half the sesame oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add the ginger, garlic and chillies and stir-fry for 20 seconds or until fragrant. Add the chicken and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes or until the chicken starts to colour on all sides. Pour in the stir-fry sauce. Mix and reduce the heat to medium. Cover with a lid and simmer for about 15 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the lid and add the cornflour mixture to the chicken. Mix and allow to simmer a further minute or until the sauce has thickened. Stir through the remaining sesame oil and the basil leaves. Remove from heat and serve with steamed rice.
