Ingredients

• 1 pouch (8.8 oz) Eat Regal Jasmine Rice
• ½ lb (225g) ground chicken (or ground turkey/pork)
• 1 cup fresh holy basil or sweet Italian basil leaves
• 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 1-2 Thai bird’s eye chilies, finely chopped (adjust for heat)
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• For the Stir-Fry Sauce: 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp dark soy sauce, ½ tsp brown sugar
• For Serving: A crispy fried egg (optional)

Instructions

1: Prep the Aromatics & Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together the oyster sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and brown sugar until smooth. Finely mince the garlic and chop the fresh chilies.

2: Cook the Ground Protein

Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet or wok over high heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped chilies, stir-frying for 30 seconds until the oil becomes highly fragrant. Add the ground chicken, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until it is completely browned and no longer pink.

3: Flash Sauce & Fold Basil

Pour the pre-mixed stir-fry sauce directly over the cooked chicken. Toss continuously for 1 minute until the sauce thickens and coats the meat evenly. Turn off the heat, immediately add the fresh basil leaves, and fold them into the chicken. The residual heat will perfectly wilt the basil, unlocking its sweet, peppery aromatics.

4: Microwave the Jasmine Side Dish

Gently squeeze the pouch of Eat Regal Jasmine Rice to separate the long grains. Tear open the corner of the pouch to vent and microwave it for exactly 1.5 minutes until steaming, soft, and fragrant.

5: Assemble and Serve

Divide the hot jasmine rice into serving bowls. Top generously with the savory Thai basil chicken. If desired, slide a crispy fried egg right on top to let the rich yolk mingle with the savory stir-fry juices. Serve immediately!
