Basil Pork Stir-Fry from Thailand

Ingredients 0/12

Step 1

Gently heat some oil in a wok or a large pan over high heat. Toss in the garlic and chili peppers, cooking them just until the garlic starts to turn golden—this should take about 30 seconds. Then, add the pork and stir it around until it’s nicely browned, which usually takes about 3 minutes. Pour in the dark soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, and fish sauce, and keep stirring everything until the sauce reduces by about half, around 3 minutes.

Step 2

Stir in the chili paste, onion, and bell pepper. Cook everything together until the pork is fully cooked through and the veggies have softened a bit, about 5 to 6 minutes. Finally, throw in the basil leaves and season with some pepper. Give it one last good stir so all the flavors come together, and you’re ready to serve.
