Remove the wok from heat. Stir in basil leaves. Garnish with sliced cucumber and cilantro. (2 minutes)
For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, ginger, and garlic for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
If you can't find Thai basil, regular basil can be used as a substitute, but the flavor will be slightly different.
Chilled rice is key to preventing the fried rice from becoming mushy.
Adjust the amount of serrano peppers to your desired spice level.
Peanut oil can be substituted with vegetable oil or canola oil if preferred.
