Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients

Chop the Thai chilies and crush the garlic. Rinse and set aside the Thai basil leaves.

2. Cook the Chicken

In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the crushed garlic and chopped Thai chilies, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. Add Ground Chicken

Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Stir-fry until the chicken is fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks.

4. Season the Chicken

Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar to the chicken mixture. Stir well and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes. Add in the Thai basil leaves and stir until wilted.

5. Fry the Eggs

In a separate pan, heat a little oil and fry the eggs sunny-side up until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 2-3 minutes.

6. Serve

To serve, place a portion of cooked rice on a plate, top with the chicken mixture, and place a crispy fried egg on top.
