Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup (1 small) chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
  • 1 fresh red chile pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into strips
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

Directions

  1. Heat the sesame oil and vegetable oil in a large wok over high heat. Fry the onion, ginger and chile pepper, stirring constantly until onion is tender.
