Critical Success Points

  • Crush or finely chop the garlic and chilies to release their aromas.
  • Cook the egg untouched to achieve a runny yolk.
  • Stir‑fry the chicken over medium‑high heat for a nice color.
  • Add the basil off the heat and toss quickly.

Safety Warnings

  • Very hot oil can splatter – handle with care.
  • Chilies release irritating compounds – wear gloves or wash hands after handling.
