Method
- Pound garlic and chilies in a mortar to a rough paste.
- Heat oil in a wok until smoking. Add the garlic-chili paste and stir 30 seconds.
- Add ground chicken, breaking into small pieces. Cook 5 minutes until browned.
- Add oyster sauce, fish sauce, soy sauce, and sugar. Toss until coated.
- Kill the heat, fold in Thai basil until just wilted. Serve over jasmine rice with a fried egg.
Timing
Allow roughly 4 minutes of preparation and 11 minutes of cooking. Read the method through once before you start so nothing waits on a pan you could have had going already.
