Instructions

1
Slice chicken on a bias into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
2
Marinate sliced chicken with marinade ingredients as listed. Set aside.
3
Meanwhile, in a mortar and pestle or food processor, pound or grind red chili, and garlic until oils and juices release.
4
In a separate bowl, combine sauce ingredients.
5
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan. Fry chicken until 75% cooked.
6
Add chili garlic paste and mix with chicken. Push everything to the side. Add more oil if needed into empty space.
7
Throw in rice and toss to mix.
8
Pour in sauce and toss again until granules are coated in sauce. Note: it is fine if your rice is a bit moist as this fried rice is more on the saucier side than dry.
9
Toss in fresh basil. Remove off heat and enjoy optionally with a fried egg and lime juice.
