Ingredients:
3 slices Chicken breast (diced into small cubes)

1 teaspoon Oyster sauce
1 teaspoon Light Soy sauce
1 teaspoon Sugar
Splash of Dark Soy sauce

Cooking oil (to cook)
Cooked Jasmine rice
HOW TO COOK:
1. Fry the egg and set aside. (I'm not a fan of raw yolk, so excuse my ugly egg)
2. Chop the garlic and chili roughly.
3. In a pan, heat one teaspoon of oil. Add in the chopped garlic and chili paste. Cook until slightly brown. (Don't get choked with the spicy air!)
4. Toss in the chicken cubes and stir fry.
5. Add in the seasonings and continue stirring. (You may add some water if it's too dry)
6. Lastly add in the basil and stir about 1 - 2 minutes.
7. Serve on the plate with hot rice and fried egg.
