Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan. Then reduce heat to medium-low, cover the pan and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat with the olive oil. Once hot stir in the garlic and chicken and cook for about 2 minutes (do not brown the garlic).

Add the fish sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, ginger, bell pepper, mushrooms and onions. Cook and stir until the chicken is no longer pink and the vegetables are nearly tender, about 5 minutes.

Add the chili paste to taste and season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine and remove from heat. Sprinkle with cilantro leaves to garnish.

Serve with rice and enjoy!
