2 tbsp olive oil

3 tbsp oyster sauce

30 g brown sugar

4 tsp light soy sauce

2 tbsp fish sauce

150 g green beans

1 red pepper, chopped

300 g chicken breast

4 shallots, sliced

4 garlic cloves, finely chopped

4 red chilli, cut length ways and de-seeded

handful basil leaves

150 g jasmine rice, to serve

prawn crackers, to server

In a bowl mix together the oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, and sugar and set aside.

Heat the oil in a wok or heavy, high-walled skillet over high heat, add the bell pepper and green beans to the hot wok. Stir-fry for one minute.

Add in the chicken and stir-fry until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes.

Stir in the shallots, garlic, and Thai chilies cook for about 1 more minute. Then, pour in the prepared sauce.

Continue to cook until the sauce begins to glaze onto the meat, about 1-2 more minutes.

Stir in the Basil leaves and cook until the chicken is completely cooked through, the basil is wilted, and the liquid has mostly evaporated.

Serve warm with rice and prawn crackers.
