Ingredients
- 400 grams Pork shoulder or pork belly
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 6 pieces Bird's eye chilies
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 cup Fresh Thai basil leaves
- 2 cups Cooked jasmine rice
Directions
Step 1
Thinly slice the pork into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Step 2
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Roughly chop the bird’s eye chilies. Adjust the amount of chilies depending on your preferred spice level.
Step 3
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic and chopped chilies to the wok. Stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 5
Increase the heat to high and add the sliced pork to the wok. Stir-fry until the pork is cooked through and slightly browned, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, and sugar. Mix well to ensure the pork is evenly coated with the sauce.
Step 7
Add the Thai basil leaves and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the basil to wilt and release its aroma.
Step 8
Remove the wok from the heat and transfer the spicy fried pork to a serving plate.
Step 9
Serve hot alongside steamed jasmine rice for a complete and flavorful meal.
