A classic Thai rice dish of minced pork stir-fried with garlic, bird's eye chilies, and basil, served with a fried egg.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Use a mortar instead of a blender to crush garlic and bird's eye chilies—coarse, uneven grinding prevents burning in oil and preserves the pungent, bright aroma unique to these ingredients.
  • Basil is delicate—overcooking at high heat will burn its tender leaves and destroy its natural aromatic quality, so always add it last and mix only with residual heat.
  • The key to authentic Thai-style fried eggs is cooking them in very hot, bubbling oil that creates bubbles and causes the outer edges to puff up sharply and become crisp.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to successfully recreate a Southeast Asian basil pork over rice restaurant dish at home with rich, smoky flavor.
  • Anyone seeking a refreshing, savory, satisfying bowl of nourishing rice that clears the head and satisfies even the most tired appetite.
