Experience the bold flavors of Thailand right in your kitchen – it's a quick and delicious way to spice up your dinner!
Begin by cooking the rice according to package instructions. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
While the rice is cooking, mince the garlic and finely chop the chili. Set them aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and chopped chili, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the pork to the skillet, breaking it apart as it cooks. Stir-fry the pork for about 5-7 minutes until it's fully cooked through.
Next, add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Mix well, ensuring that the pork is evenly coated in the sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Finally, fold in the basil leaves, cooking briefly until they wilt, around 1 minute.
Serve the spicy pork stir-fry hot over the cooked rice.
