Step 1: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
Step 2: Add the fried rice to the skillet, stirring well, and incorporate soy sauce, fish sauce, and sugar; cook for about 5-7 minutes until heated through.
Step 3: In a separate pan, heat the remaining oil over medium-high heat. Crack an egg into the pan and fry until the edges are crispy while the yolk remains runny; repeat for all eggs.
Step 4: Stir in fresh basil into the fried rice just before serving to retain its vibrant flavor.
Step 5: Serve the basil fried rice in bowls, topped with the crispy egg and a squeeze of lime juice.
