 STIR FRY MINCED PORK WITH THAI BASIL 


One of the most common dishes at Thai restaurants, this is one easy to make dish that gets along famously with a bowl of steaming hot rice! This is a really cheap dish to prepare, and I'm sure u will have more than enough Thai basil left over, and if it's really fresh, just stick it in a pot of gardening soil and you'll never have to buy them again! They grow very easily, almost like weeds! Well, enough of talking and let's get to cooking!


Ingredients

200g minced pork

1 teaspoon oyster sauce

1 teaspoon fish sauce

1 teaspoon light soy sauce

1 teaspoon dark soy sauce

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 teaspoon sugar

2pcs chili padi, finely chopped

A handful of Thai basil leaves


Method

Marinade the minced pork with all the sauces and sugar. I prefer to do it this way instead of the conventional way as it let's the pork soak up all the flavours

In a hot pan, add some oil and sauteed the garlic and chili padi till aromatic

Now add the marinaded minced pork and stir till it's properly cooked

Add the basil leaves and let it cook for about 20secs and it's done!

This is one really simple but tasty dish and is something I'll do when my basil plant is due for trimming. Can't wait for the next round😜😜😜
Enjoy, everyone, and stay safe!
These recipes are good for those who want to cook for one or two without going all out but still wanting to enjoy good food. Simple to prepare and tasty food every time!

  CHAR SIU Now, just look at thise yummulicious goodness! Yes, it can be made at home too! In your oven toaster! you read it right! Oven toaster! That's how I make my char siu for one! The secret is all in the marinade, and I normally make enuf to marinade at least 1kg of meat, but after making the marinade, cook it for a while, till it boils and all the sugar is melted and it can be kept for months in the fridge. If u need to use it in small portions, follow the method below. Good enuf for a plate of wantan and charsiu noodles.
