• fish sauce (1 tbsp)
• brown sugar (1 tbsp)
• vegetable oil (2 tbsp)

Kitchen Tools:

• chef’s knife

To start, heat vegetable oil in a wok over high heat. Add minced garlic and sliced red chili peppers, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Next, add thinly sliced pork loin and cook until the meat is no longer pink.

In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, fish sauce, and brown sugar until well combined. Pour the sauce over the pork and stir to coat the meat evenly. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Add Thai basil leaves to the wok and toss everything together until the basil wilts and the flavors meld together. Remove from heat and serve the spicy Thai basil pork stir-fry hot over steamed jasmine rice.

One unique tip for this dish is to add a sprinkle of crushed peanuts on top before serving for an extra crunch and nutty flavor. It takes this already delicious stir-fry to a whole new level!
