- 300g chicken, coarsely ground (see video for how to grind your own chicken)
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp fish sauce
- 1½ tsp black soy sauce (or sub dark soy sauce and reduce regular soy sauce to 2 tsp)
- 2 Tbsp water
- 1 ½ tsp sugar
- 1 ½ cup holy basil leaves, loosely packed (see note)
- Vegetable oil, as needed
- 2-3 eggs (1 per person)

How to cook:
- Pound Thai chilies into a fine paste.

- In a wok or a large saute pan, saute the garlic-chili paste in a little vegetable oil over medium high heat until the garlic starts to turn golden.

- Add onions and long beans; toss until the chicken is done.
- Remove from heat and stir in the holy basil.

- For the fried egg:
- Heat about 1 cm of vegetable oil in a small non-stick pan or a wok over medium high heat.

- Gather the ingredients.
- Combine the stir-fry sauce ingredients together, stirring well to dissolve the sugar. Taste-test; you're looking for spicy-salty-sweet flavors balanced with the rich taste of the coconut milk. Adjust these flavors to suit your taste, adding more lime juice if too salty or sweet.
- Place the chicken in a bowl and pour over 1/4 cup of the stir-fry sauce, or enough to coat the chicken. Toss well and set aside.
- Warm a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the oil and swirl around, then add the shallot or onion, garlic, galangal or ginger, and chili. Stir-fry until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the chicken, green beans, and lime leaves (if using). Stir-fry 5 to 6 minutes or until cooked, adding more of the stir-fry sauce as you go.
- Add the mushrooms, red pepper, and enough stir-fry sauce to keep the ingredients moist and simmering. Simmer 3 to 5 minutes, or until the vegetables have turned bright in color but still retain some crispness.
- Reduce the heat to low and do a final taste-test, adding a little more fish sauce if you'd like more flavor or saltiness, or more lime juice if too salty or sweet.
- Top with a sprinkling of fresh basil and more fresh-cut chili, if desired. Serve with plenty of Thai jasmine rice or noodles. Enjoy.
