Stir fried chicken with basil leaves and fresh red chillies

* This dish is perfect for lunch. It takes only 15-20 minutes to prepare. A good alternative to a sandwich. 

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 chicken fillets, cut into small dices (alternatively you can use king prawns)
1 red onion, chopped
2-3 Thai red chillies, chopped
10 basil leaves
1tbsp fish sauce, 1tbsp soy sauce, 1tbsp oyster sauce, hint of granulated sugar
2tbsp sunflower or vegetable oil for frying

1)   Heat the oil in a wok and wait until it is hot. Add the chopped garlic and red chillies and stir until the garlic is golden.
2)   Add the chicken (or prawns) and stir fry until it is cooked.
3)   Add the chopped red onions and basil leaves. Stir fry for a few minutes.
4)   Season it with 1tbsp fish sauce, 1tbsp soy sauce, 1tbsp oyster sauce and hint of sugar. Stir fry again for a few minutes.

Serve it with some Thai jasmine rice and Thai style fried egg (you have to break the egg into really hot oil and wait until the edge is crispy).
