Ingredients

Instructions

Cook jasmine rice according to package directions so it's ready to serve.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or skillet over high heat until just smoking. Add garlic, chilies, and shallot. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add chicken breast. Stir-fry, breaking it up, until almost cooked through (about 2-3 minutes).
Add bell peppers and continue stir-frying for 1-2 minutes until just tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, mix oyster sauce, light soy sauce, fish sauce, dark soy sauce (if using), and sugar. Pour over the chicken. Toss well to coat and cook for 1 more minute until chicken is juicy and flavorful.
Remove pan from heat. Add holy basil and toss until just wilted (about 20 seconds). Set aside, keeping warm.
Wipe out the pan, add remaining 1 tbsp oil, and heat over medium-high. Crack in the egg and fry until edges are crispy and yolk is still runny (about 2 minutes).
To serve: Pile jasmine rice onto a plate, spoon chicken stir-fry alongside, and top with the crispy fried egg. Garnish generously with extra basil leaves and sliced red chilies.
