"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Ingredients:  
For the Sauce
3 tablespoons sweet soy sauce *see notes
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoons fish sauce
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
For the Stir Fry
2 tablespoons vegetable, canola or peanut oil
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced

1 pound ground chicken
1 small red onion, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced

Directions:
Directions:
In a small bowl, mix the sauce ingredients and set aside.
Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the garlic and chiles and cook for about 20 seconds stirring constantly. Add the ground chicken and cook for about 3 – 4 minutes breaking up the meat into small pieces. You want the chicken to have some texture so don't break it up too much. When the chicken is no longer pink, drain any excess liquid.
Add the onions and red bell peppers and stir fry for about 1 minute. Stir in the sauce and cook, stirring constantly until the sauce starts to thicken, about 2 minutes. Stir in the basil and cook until the basil is wilted and the chicken is cooked through.
