Finely dice the shallots and mince the garlic and chilies.
Heat the oil in a wok and fry the shallots until golden and crisp.
Add the minced chicken and stir-fry, breaking it up, until golden and dry.
Dissolve the sugar in the fish sauce and lime juice, pour it over the chicken, and cook until sticky and caramelised.
Stir in the garlic, chilies, and black pepper and fry 1 minute more.
