Directions:

1. Cook the rice. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Put in the rice, cover the pot and let it cook for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until all of the water is absorbed. While the rice is cooking, do not remove the lid. Taking off the lid lets out the steam, causing the rice to cook improperly.
2. Prepare the other parts of the dish while the rice is cooking.
3. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, salt, and black pepper. Set it aside.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the oyster sauce, fish sauce, and sugar. Set it aside.
5. Heat the oil in a wok until the oil begins letting off smoke. Add the garlic and serrano peppers and stir.
6. Add the red bell pepper and onion and saute until they become tender. Add the chicken and cook until it is no longer pink.
7. Push the veggies and chicken to the sides of the wok. Pour the eggs into the middle and cook until no longer wet.
8. Stir in the oyster sauce mixture and saute until all of the ingredients are evenly coated.
9. Add the cooked rice to the skillet. Stir and cook until all of the ingredients are well combined, about five minutes.
10. Remove the wok from the heat.
11. Add the chopped basil and top with cilantro.
12. Serve.
