1 tbl soy sauce
1 tbl sugar
1 tsp white vinegar

Place garlic, 1 cup basil leaves and chili garlic sauce in food processor. Pulse until finely chopped. Transfer 1 tbl of this mixture to a small bowl with the fish sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar & vinegar. Stir and set aside.
Place remaining garlic/basil mixture into a cold 12" skillet and set aside.
Place the ground chicken in a bowl with the remaining 1 tbl fish sauce and refrigerate for 5-10 min.
In the cold skillet with the garlic/basil mixture add 2 tbl olive oil and onions to the pan. Saut? over medium low heat and allow herbs and onion to soften.
Once onion is softened add the chilled ground chicken and stir constantly and break the chicken up as it cooks. Continue stirring until chicken is no longer pink.
