Ingredients

• 2 cups Jasmine rice
• 1 pound Ground pork
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 4 Thai bird's eye chilies, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 cup Fresh Thai basil leaves
• 2 Green onion, sliced
• 4 Lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the jasmine rice under running water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and chopped Thai bird's eye chilies to the skillet. Stir-fry for 30 seconds or until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 4

Add the ground pork and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until fully cooked and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the fish sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Pour the mixture over the cooked pork and stir until well combined.

Step 6

Add the cooked jasmine rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with your spatula. Stir-fry the rice with the pork and sauce mixture for 2-3 minutes until evenly coated and heated through.

Step 7

Turn off the heat and mix in the fresh Thai basil leaves and sliced green onion. Stir until the basil is wilted and fragrant.

Step 8

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for a fresh burst of acidity.
