I went to the market on Wed night.  I bought some cucumbers, onion, garlic, red bell pepper, a tomato, carrots and a dozen eggs.  I chopped up one whole bell pepper, one whole onion, one whole carrot, one whole tomato (squeeze the juice out), half a garlic.

I made 3 cups (dry) Jasmin rice.  I make the rice first than chill it.  I cut up (more like shaved) a couple pounds of boneless frozen chicken breast.  I cut a few stalks of basil from my two live basil plants I got at the market a month ago.  They also have fresh basil at the market now.  I discard any thick stems.

In a large wok I scramble two or three  eggs first than add some light olive oil and the chicken, garlic and carrots.  When the chicken is almost finished cooking I add the rest of the veggies and then the rice a few minutes later.  I add oyster sauce, soy sauce and a little more oil, stirring the rice and veggies until the rice is hot and all veggies are cooked.  I usually cover the wok for a couple minutes to speed up the process.  Do not overcook or the rice can get mushy.

I serve with a plate of chilled sliced cucumber and a little sweet and spicy sauce. It's also good with shrimp or add some crushed hot red chili for a spicy version.
