Basil Spicy Chicken

This would be yummy alone, or I served it over sesame brown rice (from THIS recipe).

INGREDIENTS:
2 tsp canola oil
1/4 cup minced shallots
3 garlic cloves, minced
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1 inch pieces
2 TBL soy sauce
2 tsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp chile paste with garlic
1 tsp water
1/2 tsp cornstarch
1/8 tsp salt
1/3 cup sliced basil leaves

DIRECTIONS:
Heat a large skillet over med-high heat. Add oil to the pan. Add shallots and garlic to pan and cook until fragrant. Add chicken to pan; cook until it's done. Combine the soy sauce and next 6 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add the sauce to the pan and cook for 1 minute, stirring to coat chicken. Remove from heat and stir in basil.
