Method:
Marinate chicken, with a little bit salt and fish sauce.
Heat a nonstick pan or wok and pour 1 tablespoon olive oil. Fry the beaten eggs and when the mixture begins to set, stir it off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Remove and put aside on a plate.
Heat the rest of the oil, when hot add crushed garlic, ginger, sliced onion, chopped chillie and chicken. Cook, stirring until the chicken is browned.
