HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

02

Add the minced garlic and sliced Thai chilies to the hot oil. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

03

Add the ground pork to the skillet. Break it apart with a spoon and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

04

Stir in the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly tender-crisp.

05

In a small bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Pour the sauce over the pork and green beans, stirring to coat everything evenly.

06

Add the Thai basil leaves and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, until the basil wilts and its aroma is released.

07

Remove from heat and serve immediately with steamed jasmine rice.

Chef's Tips

For an extra kick, you can add more chilies or a pinch of red pepper flakes. If you can't find Thai holy basil, regular sweet basil works well, though the flavor will be slightly different. A fried egg on top is a classic addition.

Easy Substitutions

Ground chicken or beef can be used instead of pork. Broccoli florets or bell peppers can replace green beans. For a vegetarian version, use firm tofu or tempeh, crumbled, and a vegetarian oyster sauce.
