Thinly slice the pork into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Roughly chop the bird’s eye chilies. Adjust the amount of chilies depending on your preferred spice level.
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Add the minced garlic and chopped chilies to the wok. Stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Increase the heat to high and add the sliced pork to the wok. Stir-fry until the pork is cooked through and slightly browned, about 4-5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, and sugar. Mix well to ensure the pork is evenly coated with the sauce.
Add the Thai basil leaves and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the basil to wilt and release its aroma.
Remove the wok from the heat and transfer the spicy fried pork to a serving plate.
Serve hot alongside steamed jasmine rice for a complete and flavorful meal.
