Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground Pork
- 2 cups Thai Basil
- 4 Bird's Eye Chilies sliced
- 4 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 Onion thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp Oyster Sauce
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 tbsp Fish Sauce
- 1 tsp Granulated Sugar
- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 4 Eggs
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients. Start by mincing your garlic and chopping the bird’s eye chilies. If you're sensitive to spice, you can reduce the number of chilies or remove the seeds.
- Cook the Meat. In a hot pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil and add the minced garlic, onion, and chilies. Stir-fry until fragrant, then add your ground pork or chicken. Cook the meat until browned and fully cooked.
- Add Sauces. Once the meat is cooked, pour in the oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, and sugar. Stir well to coat the meat with the savory sauce.
- Add Thai Basil. Toss in the Thai basil leaves and stir for a few seconds until they wilt. Remove from heat immediately to avoid overcooking the basil.
- Fry the Egg. In a separate pan, fry your eggs until the edges are crispy and the yolk is still soft. This step is optional but adds an extra layer of richness.
- Serve. Serve the stir-fried meat and basil over steamed jasmine rice and top with the fried egg.
