Sugar-2 tsp
Soy sauce-2 tbsp
Fish sauce-1 tbsp

Instructions
In a hot pan, add enough water to boil. Once it reaches the boiling point, add oil, spaghetti and enough salt to cook.
When it is cooked, strain the hot water from spaghetti.
Rinse the spaghetti in water and strain one more time. Add some oil and keep aside.
Heat a wok. Add chillies, shallots, garlic and fry.
Add the chicken and fry for some more time. Try to break the chicken in order to not get the clumpy ones.
Add sugar, soy sauce and fish sauce. Cook for 1 more minute.
Now add the chicken broth or water to make the dish moist as we are cooking the chicken in high heat.
Now add the basil leaves and cook for 2 more minutes. Serve hot with spaghetti.
Notes
I used a wok in this recipe. The wok is best to make Chinese recipes, fried rice, saucy recipes as it is easy to turn them over frequently. It is also perfect to cook food at high temperature.
This recipe calls for Thai red chilli. Thai bird's eye chillies are spicier than normal chillies. So adjust the number of chillies according to your spice level.
We are not adding salt in this recipe. The sauces already contain enough salt. So add salt after checking the saltiness of the recipe.
I used Wholemeal pasta to make the dish nutrient.
I used light soy sauce in this recipe. If you prefer a dark colour, use dark soy sauce.
If you are not going to eat this recipe immediately, then keep the chicken and spaghetti separate. Mix before eating.
