Ingredients
- 80 ml Chicken Broth
- 1 tbsp Oyster Sauce

- 2 tsp Fish Sauce
- 1 tsp White Sugar

- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 500 gr Boneless Chicken Thighs Cut into cubes, and finely chopped

- 4 cloves Fresh Garlic Finely chopped
- 1 pcs Thai Chillie Sliced
- 50 gr Thai Basil Thinly sliced

Instructions
- Whisk together chicken broth, oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, white sugar, and brown sugar until well blended.
- Heat a large skillet over high heat and add some oil. Stir-fry the chicken until it is no longer pink, which should take around 2 to 3 minutes.
- Continue cooking on high heat while stirring in shallots, garlic, and sliced chilies until the juices caramelize in the bottom of the pan, for about 2 to 3 more minutes.
- Add 1 tablespoon of the sauce mixture to the skillet. Cook and stir until the sauce starts to caramelize, approximately 1 minute.
- Pour the remaining sauce into the pan and cook while stirring until it deglazes the bottom. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce coats the meat, then remove from heat.
- Stir in the basil. Cook and stir until the basil is wilted, taking about 20 seconds. Serve with rice, and fried egg.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
