Here's what you need:

- 500g Chicken thighs or similar

Here's what to do:
1. Cook your rice using a rice cooker or boiling it on a stove.
2. Chop 3-4 cloves of garlic and 3-4 chillis and set aside.
3. Slice off some palm sugar - roughly 2 tablespoons.
4. Chop up and mince the chicken. I love chicken thighs for the flavour, but you can also use chicken breast.
5. Heat up your wok. Once hot, put in the oil and garlic. Let the garlic fry.
6. Add in the chicken and stir.
7. Add 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of ABC sauce and 1 tablespoon of Fish sauce. Stir through.
8. Add 2 tablespoons of palm sugar. Stir to melt the sugar.
9. Add the chopped chilli and fresh basil leaves right at the end once the chicken is fully cooked. 10. Don't cook too long after adding the chilli and basil.
10. Serve with rice and a fried egg on top.
11. Have some chilli sauce on the side to taste. You can find an easy Thai Chilli Sauce recipe here:    • Easy Thai Chilli Sauce Recipe
