Is been some time since I want to try cooking this dish, and today is the day!

Ingredients:

• Holy basil leaves (Freshly plucked from my workplace garden, hahaha)
• Long beans, cut into small pieces
• 250g minced chicken (you may use any other meat that you prefer)
• 5 cloves of garlic 
• 6-8 red chilies 
• 1 big onion diced
• Oyster sauce
• Light soy sauce
• Dark soy sauce 
• Sugar 
• Pepper
• Oil
• Eggs
• Rice!

Done prepping the ingredients and let's start the cooking!

Instructions:

1. Heat up the pan with oil and fry the egg first - No need to wash the pan again :) can straight continue to cook the main
2. Pour a little bit more oil to the same pan and saute the garlic and onion until it turns golden 
3. Add in the minced chicken and stir-fried it till they're no longer in big clumps, add in the sauces - oyster sauce + light soy sauce + dark soy sauce & pepper and continuing tossing until the chicken is almost done 
4. Add in the long beans and chili, toss until the chicken is done
5. Then add the holy basil to the pan and stir-fried it with the rest of the ingredients
6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed (No measurement for the sauces/seasonings, just add based on feeling hahaha.. I add in a little sugar to balance up the taste)

And Tadaa!

 Here is the final product -
