Method

Pound or finely chop the garlic and chilli together. Mix the fish sauce, oyster sauce and soy in a cup.
Fry the egg in half the oil over a high heat until the edges are brown and lacy and the yolk is still soft. Set aside.
Add the rest of the oil, fry the garlic and chilli for twenty seconds, then the mince, pressing it flat and letting it catch before breaking it up. Three minutes.
Add the beans and the sauce, stir for two minutes, then throw in the basil and turn it off as soon as it wilts. Serve on the rice with the egg on top.

Worth knowing

The whole thing takes five minutes on the heat, so have everything chopped and the sauce mixed before the pan goes on.
The egg is 79 kcal and 7 g of protein. It is also the reason to make the dish.
