Ingredients:

• a package of chicken drumsticks
• fresh garlic cloves
• fresh ginger roots
• fresh Thai Basil leaves (key ingredient)
• dash of sugar
• Soy sauce (1/2 cup)
• cooking oil or sesame oil

In a pot, place oil and crushed garlic clove and sliced ginger root and heat. When sizzling, add chopped chicken legs with bone and soy sauce and a half cup of water and reduce heat to low after boiling. Cook for approx. 45 minutes and add the Basil leaves and a dash of sugar and cook another 10 minutes. That's all there is to it.

This dish is better served hot along with a bowl of freshly cooked white rice. You will recognize the distinct aroma that comes from the Thai basil leaves.

This dish is so simple, I was debating whether to include it as part of my recipe book. I decided to add it because it is one of my son's favorite dish.

Enjoy and let me know if you like it.
