  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2-3 Thai chilies, sliced (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Cooked jasmine rice, for serving

  2. Add minced garlic and sliced Thai chilies. Stir-fry until fragrant.
