Ingredients
  • 2–3 Tbsp cooking oil
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 3–5 red bird’s eye chillies
  • 1 red chilli
  • 400 g chicken breast
  • 1⁄2 tsp white pepper powder
  • 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1⁄2 Tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp Niigata Japanese Anchovy Fish Sauce for better umami
  • 2–3 Tbsp sweet soy sauce
  • 1⁄4 tsp sugar
  • 1 handful basil leaves
  • 2 eggs
Steps
  1. Pound the garlic, bird’s eye chillies and red chilli together.
  2. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces.
  3. Fry eggs until the edges are brown and set aside.
  4. Heat up oil, stir fry the pounded garlic and chillies until fragrant.
  5. Add chicken pieces, stirring continuously while adding the white pepper powder and oyster sauce. Stir fry until all flavours are infused.
  6. Add light soy sauce, Niigata Japanese Anchovy Fish Sauce, sweet soy sauce, and sugar.
