Ingredients
250g chicken breasts, cut into small pieces
1 clove garlic, smashed with the side of a knife
2 1/2 Tbsp. vegetable oil

Steps:

- Add the smashed garlic, cook briefly, and the egg,then rice and the soy sauce.
- Mix together and add the onion, and spring onion cook for 1 minute and remove from the heat.
- Taste adjust the seasoning (by adding a little more fish sauce if it needs more salt)
