40ml Sesame oil
60gm ginger
50gm garlic cloves
1/2 chicken (about 550gm), chopped into bite size
1 red chilli

Method

1) Heat sesame oil in a wok, add in ginger and garlic and fry until brown. Remove and set aside.

2) In the remaining oil, slide in the chicken pieces and fry until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

3) In the remaining oil, fry red chill until fragrant, and then tip in the ginger and garlic. Give it a good stir, and then add in the chicken, rice wine, soya sauce, soya sauce paste, sugar and water. Let the mixture bubble, until liquid reduce slighty, and then add in the basil. Give it a final stir and serve hot ith white rice.

**SOYA SAUCE PASTE - I don't know what's this actually. Hence, I increase the amount soya sauce and add a few tsps of dark soy sauce for colour.
Happy Cooking!!
