      Title: Chicken Fried Rice W/Basil
 Categories: Rice, Poultry, Quick dishe
      Yield: 4 servings

           Cooked brown basmati rice *
      8 oz Chicken thighs; boned,
           - skinned
      2 tb Vegetable oil
      3 tb Garlic; fine sliced
      1 sm Onion; thin sliced
      3 tb Shallots; sliced
      1 tb Dried lemongrass; mixed
           - with H2O
      1 tb Red chile flakes **
      2 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Black pepper
      2 ts Splenda Sweetener
      1 tb Fish sauce
      1    Handful thai basil
      1    Haas avocado; sliced

  At least 2 hours or the night before, cook the rice. ***

  Spread it out on a baking sheet and allow it to cool
  completely. Put in refrigerator.

  Slice the chicken into thin strips and set aside. Heat a
  wok or large frying pan over HIGH heat and add the oil. When
  it is very hot and slightly smoking, add the garlic, onion,
  shallots, chile flakes, salt and pepper and stir-fry for 2
  minutes.

  Add the chicken and the lemongrass mixture and stir-fry for
  2 minutes, then add the rice and continue to stir-fry for 3
  minutes. Add the Splenda and fish sauce and stir-fry for 2
  minutes.

  Add the basil leaves and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Put on a
  platter, garnish with avocado slices. Serve hot or room
  temperature as a rice salad.

  NOTES:

  * Original recipe calls for cooked basmati rice.

  ** Original recipe calls for 4 red chiles, seeded & shredded

  *** To cook it authentically, place the rice in the water
  and cook it over HIGH heat, uncovered, until most of the
  water is gone. Then cover, lower the heat and cook rice
  slowly in the remaining steam. Never uncover the pot once
  the steaming process has begun; just time it and wait.

  Original recipe calls for garnishing with finely shredded
  scallions. I thought avocado would be more refreshing.
