Instructions
Mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until smoking. Add the garlic and chilies, stir for 15 seconds.
Tip: Adjust the number of chilies to your heat preference. Remove seeds for less heat, or skip them entirely for a mild version.
Add the ground chicken and stir-fry, breaking it into small pieces, for 4-5 minutes until cooked through and starting to brown.
Pour in the sauce mixture and stir-fry for 1 minute. Remove from heat and fold in the Thai basil until just wilted.
In a separate skillet, fry the eggs in the remaining oil until the edges are crispy and the yolk is still runny.
Serve the chicken over jasmine rice, topped with a fried egg.
