Cooking steps
1. In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, black pepper, Thai red chili paste, vegetable oil, soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar. Mix well to make the marinade.
2. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and ensure they are well coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes or longer for more flavor.
3. Heat a grill or a pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes per side until they are fully cooked and nicely charred. Remove from heat and let them rest for a few minutes.
4. In the meantime, heat a separate pan over medium heat and add a little oil. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
5. Add the cooked chicken breasts to the pan with the cherry tomatoes. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
6. Remove from heat and sprinkle fresh basil leaves on top.
7. Serve the spicy Thai garlic pepper chicken with steamed jasmine rice as a side dish.

Cooking a new dish
Starting to cook a new dish begins with selecting a recipe that matches your skill level and gathering all the necessary ingredients. Before diving in, read through the entire recipe to understand the steps and timing involved. Next, prepare your workspace by cleaning the countertops, organizing your tools, and setting out ingredients. Prepping the ingredients—such as washing, chopping, and measuring—is key to ensuring a smooth cooking process. As you cook, follow the recipe step by step, taking your time and tasting along the way to adjust flavors. Finally, serve the dish with care and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Preparing your workspace correctly
Preparing your workspace involves starting with clean countertops, organizing your tools and equipment, and setting out all the necessary ingredients within reach. Arrange your tools, like knives, cutting boards, and measuring cups, close by for easy access, and pre-measure ingredients if possible to save time during cooking. It's helpful to have a trash bowl for food scraps to keep the area tidy. Ensure your workspace is well-lit and free of unnecessary items to maximize space. If your recipe requires it, preheat the oven or pans while organizing your space. Having a clean and organized workspace makes the cooking process more efficient and enjoyable.
Preparing your ingredients in advance
Prepping ingredients, or "mise en place," involves getting everything ready before cooking. This includes washing and chopping vegetables, measuring out ingredients, and preparing items like garlic, onions, or meat as required by the recipe. You might also marinate, soften, or melt ingredients if needed. Once prepped, arrange everything in small bowls or containers for easy access during cooking. This preparation helps streamline the cooking process and ensures you can focus on cooking without interruptions.
