Sweet basil is more common and less expensive.

Marinate boneless skinless chicken breast with soy sauce, sugar, and a little water for about 15 minutes.

Spread cooked jasmine rice onto a plate to allow excess steam to escape and cool down.

Mix Thai chili paste with fish sauce to create the sauce for the fried rice.

Heat vegetable oil in a wok over medium heat.

Add marinated chicken to the wok and cook without disturbing for 30 seconds to 1 minute to achieve browning.

Toss the chicken and cook until done, then remove from the wok.

Scramble eggs in the same wok until completely cooked, then remove from the pan.

Add a little oil to the wok, then sauté garlic and dried roasted chili flakes until fragrant.

Add the cooled jasmine rice to the wok and toss quickly to mix with the garlic and chili flakes.

Pour the sauce over the rice and mix well to help separate the rice clumps.

Add onions for crunch and continue to stir-fry, pressing down clumps with a spatula.

Let the rice toast slightly to develop flavor, listening for the sound of toasting rice.

Add the cooked chicken and scrambled eggs back into the wok and mix everything together.
