In a mortar and pestle grind together the garlic, shallots and red chillies.

Pluck the basil leaves from the stems and set them aside.

Heat the chicken fat in a wok and once it's nice and hot fry up the ground garlic, shallots and chillies.

Once the garlic starts to brown then add in the ground chicken and cook. Keep stirring the mixture and break up the chicken so that it doesn't clump up together.

Add in the soya sauce, fish sauce and sweetener. Also season with white pepper and salt.

Once the chicken starts releasing it's liquid cook till the sauce is almost dried out.

Turn off the heat and add in the fresh basil and mix well till the basil wilts down.

Serve in lettuce cups with a deep fried egg.

For the fried egg just cook it in a wok on a high heat till the edges turn nice and crispy. You need to make sure there is plenty of oil in the wok. You are pretty much deep frying the egg.
