instructions
    1

    Begin by cooking the rice according to package instructions. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.

    2

    While the rice is cooking, mince the garlic and finely chop the chili. Set them aside.

    3

    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.

    4

    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.

    5

    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.

    6

    Finally, fold in the basil leaves, cooking briefly until they wilt, around 1 minute.

    7

    Serve the spicy pork stir-fry hot over the cooked rice.
