Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the chicken breast into small cubes. Finely chop the onion, garlic and chili peppers.

  2. 2

    Stir the soy sauce, brown sugar and fish sauce together in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves.

  3. 3

    Heat 2 tablespoons of the sunflower oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Stir-fry the chicken for 5-6 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned, then remove to a plate.

  4. 4

    Add 1 more tablespoon of oil to the pan. Cook the onion for 3 minutes, then the garlic and chili for 1 minute.

  5. 5

    Add the rice and stir-fry over high heat for 3-4 minutes, breaking up any clumps. Add the sauce and chicken and toss for 2-3 more minutes until the rice is evenly colored.

  6. 6

    In a separate skillet, heat the remaining oil and fry the eggs for 3 minutes, until the whites are set and the yolks still runny.

  7. 7

    Slice the cucumber and tomato. Divide the rice among plates, top each with a fried egg and serve with the cucumber and tomato on the side.
