Chicken Basil Stir-Fry with Fried Egg

Ingredients

• 200g diced chicken
• 1 handful holy basil
• 1 tbsp pounded chili + garlic
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tsp light soy sauce
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 1 egg

Method

• Fry an egg with crispy edges; set aside
• Fry chili-garlic until fragrant; add chicken and cook through
• Season with oyster sauce, soy and sugar over high heat
• Turn off heat, add basil, toss gently; serve over rice with the fried egg

How to choose ingredients

Choose fresh pinkish-white chicken, not slimy, no smell. Breast is leaner, thigh juicier pick to taste. Basil with tender stems.

Chef's secret

Marinate chicken in a little soy for 5 minutes before frying for juicier meat; fry the egg in plenty of hot oil for crispy edges.
