Ingredients

• 1 cup jasmine rice
• 1 pound ground pork
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 cup Thai basil leaves, fresh
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 medium red chilies, sliced

Method

1. 01
   Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Add rice and 1 1/2 cups of water to a pot and bring to a boil.
2. 02
   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
3. 03
   Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sliced chilies, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. 04
   Add ground pork to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until the pork is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
5. 05
   In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Pour the sauce over the pork and stir to combine.
6. 06
   Add fresh Thai basil leaves to the pan and stir-fry until the leaves are wilted and the sauce is evenly distributed.
7. 07
   Serve the Thai basil pork hot, accompanied by steamed jasmine rice.
