Cook on medium-high for about 2 to 3 minutes until slightly caramelized, and the chicken bits from the bottom of the pan have mixed in well with them. Add in the garlic, ginger, basil, and cook for 30 seconds more.

Recipe Notes
*This so the cornstarch is absorbed before the coconut milk gets a chance to get hot and clump the cornstarch. Alternative, use a second bowl to mix the coconut milk, cornstarch, and curry first before adding to the pan.
