Ingredients

3 tbsp vegetable oil
2 shallots (Thinly sliced)
7 cloves garlic (Sliced)
3 Thai bird or Holland chilies (Thinly sliced; deseed if desired)
1 lb ground pork
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp thin/light soy sauce
2 tsp dark soy sauce
2 tsp oyster sauce
0.333 cup low-sodium chicken broth or water (Use either low-sodium chicken broth or water)
1.5 cup holy basil leaves (Packed)
jasmine rice (For serving; quantity not specified in the source)

Steps

1
Thinly slice the shallots, slice the garlic, and thinly slice the chilies. Deseed the chilies if desired.
2
Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil, shallots, and garlic.
3
Fry the shallots and garlic for 3 minutes.
4
Add the sliced chilies and cook for 1 minute.
5
Increase the heat to high and add the ground pork. Break the pork into small bits as it cooks, allowing it to crisp up.
6
Add the sugar, fish sauce, thin/light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Stir-fry for 1 minute.
7
Deglaze the wok with the low-sodium chicken broth or water. Over the high heat, let the liquid cook off quickly.
8
Add the holy basil leaves and stir-fry until wilted.
9
Serve the pork and holy basil stir-fry over jasmine rice.

Notes

The source emphasizes holy basil's distinctive, almost licorice-like or fennel-like flavor. If holy basil is unavailable, the author notes that cinnamon basil or regular sweet basil is preferable to making no stir-fry. The quantity of jasmine rice is not specified in the structured recipe data.
