Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok over high heat until shimmering. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 3 sliced red Thai bird chilies, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant but not burnt.
Step 2: Add 1 lb ground pork to the wok, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the pork turns golden and is cooked through.
Step 3: Stir in 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tsp dark soy sauce, and 1 tsp palm sugar, cooking for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the pork.
Step 4: Remove the wok from heat and fold in 1 cup fresh Thai basil leaves, stirring gently until the leaves are wilted and aromatic.
Step 5: Serve the spicy Thai basil pork hot over 4 cups cooked jasmine rice, spooning the savory sauce over the top.
