Ingredients

Main Ingredients

300 g minced pork
4 cloves garlic minced
2-3 Thai chilies chopped (adjust to taste)
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp fish sauce
1 tsp sugar
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup fresh Thai basil leaves
cooked jasmine rice for serving
fried eggs for serving (optional)

Instructions

Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and chili, and stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the minced pork to the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon until fully browned.
Stir in the oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, and sugar. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to coat the pork.
Turn off the heat and stir in the Thai basil leaves until just wilted.
Serve the minced pork over steamed jasmine rice, topped with a fried egg if desired.

Notes

For a less spicy version, reduce the amount of Thai chilies or remove the seeds. Replace pork with ground chicken or tofu for a different twist.
