Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook 1 cup of jasmine rice according to package instructions or in a rice cooker.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken breast and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil and sauté the sliced onion, minced garlic, and minced ginger for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the curry paste to the pan and cook for another minute, stirring constantly.
Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Return the chicken to the pan and cook for 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Season with fish sauce and sugar, stirring to combine.
Stir in the Thai basil leaves and let them wilt in the sauce for 1 minute.
In a small pan, heat the remaining vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the extra basil leaves and fry until crispy, about 30 seconds. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Serve the curry chicken over jasmine rice and garnish with crispy basil leaves.
