Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Jasmine rice
- 1.5 cups Water
- 500 grams Ground pork or chicken
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Red chili, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 10 Fresh basil leaves
- 2 Scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 Cucumber, sliced (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of jasmine rice with 1.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red chili, cooking for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Add the ground pork or chicken to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, for 5-7 minutes or until no pink remains.
Stir in the soy sauce, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring well to coat the meat in the sauce.
Turn off the heat and stir in the lime juice and fresh basil leaves, allowing the basil to wilt slightly.
Serve the Thai mince over the prepared jasmine rice, garnished with sliced scallions. Add cucumber slices on the side if desired.
