  1. In medium bowl, combine fish sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar; stir in chicken slices to coat. Let marinate 5 minutes.

  2. In nonstick 12-inch skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until very hot. Add chicken with marinade and cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken slices lose their pink color throughout, about 3 to 4 minutes. With slotted spoon, remove chicken to plate.

  3. Add onion to marinade remaining in skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, about 4 minutes. Stir in chiles, ginger, and garlic, cook 1 minute longer.

  4. Return chicken to skillet, heat through. Stir in basil leaves just before serving. Garnish with basil sprigs.

  5. Note: Asian fish sauce (nuoc nam) — a thin, translucent, salty, brown liquid extracted from salted, fermented fish — is used in Thai and Vietnamese cooking. It can be purchased in the Asian section of some grocery stores, or from Thai Kitchen, Box 13242, Berkeley, CA 94701 (call 800-967-THAI [800-967-8424]). If you don't have fish sauce, increase soy sauce to 2 tablespoons and proceed with recipe.
