Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 large garlic cloves, minced
- 2 pieces red chili, finely chopped
- 400 grams minced pork or chicken
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce

Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and chopped red chili to the hot oil, stir-frying them for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the minced pork or chicken to the pan. Stir-fry, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until it is fully cooked and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium, then add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, and sugar to the meat. Stir to combine well.
Pour in the water to help mix the sauces with the minced meat, and let it simmer for an additional 2 minutes.
Add the fresh basil leaves to the pan, stirring until they are wilted and well mixed with the minced meat.
Serve the stir-fried minced meat with basil over a bed of cooked jasmine rice, and enjoy!
