• 3 tablespoons oyster sauce

• 1 teaspoon white sugar

• ½ cup peanut oil for frying

• 6 large cloves garlic clove, crushed

• 2 serrano peppers, crushed

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into thin strips

Instructions

Prepare all the ingredients before you begin.

In a small bowl, whisk together oyster sauce, fish sauce, and sugar; set aside for later.

Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat until it starts to smoke. Add garlic and Serrano peppers, stirring quickly.

Add the chicken, bell pepper, onion, and oyster sauce mixture to the wok; cook until the chicken is fully cooked through and juices run clear.

Increase the heat to high and add the chilled rice. Stir rapidly to ensure the sauce is evenly mixed with the rice. Use the back of a spoon to separate any rice clumps.

Remove the wok from the heat and stir in the basil leaves. Garnish with sliced cucumber and cilantro.
