Step 1
Mince 4 garlic cloves and 1 red chili. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until shimmering.
Step 2
Add the garlic and chili, stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add 1 lb minced chicken and spread it out; let it sear without stirring for 1 minute.
Step 3
Stir-fry the chicken until fully cooked and slightly crispy at edges, about 4-5 minutes. Season with 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sugar, and a splash of water if dry.
Step 4
Turn off heat, stir in 1 cup Thai basil leaves until wilted. In a separate nonstick pan, cook 2 beaten eggs into a thin omelet over medium heat, about 2 minutes per side.
Step 5
Serve the chicken over 2 cups cooked rice, topped with the omelet. Add extra chili or fish sauce if you like.
