- Add the chicken or seafood, lettuce, soy sauce, fish sauce and black pepper and simmer for 5 more minutes, stirring constantly, until the chicken is cooked.

Notes : Crispy Fried Garlic is readily available in packets or jars in most wet markets, supermarkets and provision shops. To make it at home, thinly slice several cloves of garlic as desired and stir-fry in a few tablespoons of hot oil over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain the excess oil on paper towels.
