Thai Basil Minced Pork or Beef
Ingredients:
- 1 pound minced beef or pork ( fat optional )
- 3-5 cloves garlic
- 2 sliced onion
- fresh basil (laurel) leaves chopped or whole
- red chillies/peppers chopped or whole
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- fish sauce
- teaspoon or white sugar
- 2 tablespoon of oil
This is rather a very simple recipe. Heat up a wok or pan, add oil and stir fry garlic and onion until they cooked, don’t let them turn brown. Stir add the chillies, let it cook for about a minute. Add minced pork and stir fry until cooked through, then add lemon juice and sugar. Reduce to low heat. Add basil and fish sauce, stir thoroughly.
This is perfect with pandan rice. Chillies provide the extra warmth during winter time. My friends back in Thailand use this as pulutan, also goes well with chilled beer.
