3 tablespoon oyster sauce

2 tablespoon fish sauce

1 teaspoon white sugar

Oil for frying

4 cups cooked jasmine rice, chilled

6 large cloves garlic, chilled

2 serrano peppers, crushed

1 lb boneless chicken, cut into thin strips

1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced

1 onion, thinly sliced

Directions

Whisk together the oyster sauce, fish sauce, and sugar in a bowl.

Heat the oil in a wok over medium-high heat until the oil begins to smoke. Add the garlic and serrano peppers, stirring quickly. Stir in the chicken, bell pepper, onion and oyster sauce mixture; cook until the chicken is no longer pink.
