Ingredients

• Ground pork - 300 grams
• Thai holy basil leaves - 100 grams
• Garlic - 4 cloves, minced
• Thai bird's eye chilies - 2, minced (adjust to taste)
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Oyster sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Fish sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Sugar - 1 teaspoon
• Vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons
• Eggs - 2 large
• Cooked jasmine rice - 2 cups

Steps

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.
2. Add the minced garlic and bird's eye chilies, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add the ground pork to the pan, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, and sugar, mixing well to coat the pork.
