Servings: 4

Ingredients

White rice: 2 cups, cooked
Thai basil leaves: 1 cup, packed
Sugar: 1 teaspoon
Oyster sauce: 2 tablespoons
Fish sauce: 1 tablespoon
Vegetable oil: 2 tablespoons
Thai chili peppers: 3-4, sliced (adjust to taste)
Garlic: 4 cloves, minced
Minced pork: 1 pound

Instructions

Start by cooking the white rice according to package instructions so it's ready to serve with the stir-fry.
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot before adding other ingredients.
Add the minced garlic and sliced chili peppers to the oil. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not burnt.
Add the minced pork to the wok, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until the pork is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix together the fish sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar until well combined. Pour the sauce mixture into the wok and stir well to coat the pork evenly.
Add the Thai basil leaves to the wok and stir-fry for another minute until they are wilted and fragrant.
Taste the dish and adjust seasoning if needed; you can add more fish sauce or sugar to taste.
Serve the Pad Krapow Moo Saap hot over a bed of cooked white rice. Enjoy the delicious balance of flavors!
