--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  3       tb           Vegetable oil
  1       lb           Chicken breast -- boned
  2       tb           Garlic -- coarsely chopped
  3       tb           Nuoc Nam (fish sauce)

 Skin chicken and cut into 1-1/4 x 1" strips. Remove stems from
 chilies and cut lengthwise into thin strips (discard the seeds).
 Heat oil in wok or large skillet over high heat. Add garlic and
 stir until golden brown, about 10 seconds. Add 1/2 cup of basil and
 the chilies and stir-fry just until basil wilts, about 1 minute.
 Add chicken and stir-fry about 3 minutes. Add nuoc mam, water, and
 sugar and stir-fry until sauce bubbles and thickens slightly, about
 2 minutes.  Add remaining 1/4 cup of basil and stir-fry until just
 wilted, about 5 seconds. Serve immediately with steamed rice.
