Question

Anyone knows the exact recipe of thai fried minced pork with chilli basil leaves?

I so love the food whenever im back in thailand. Its a very common home dish back in thailand. It would be great if i could know how to whip up that dish.

Anybody could be kind enough to provide the cooking ingredients and instructions? I tried googling around but to no avail.

Answer 1

Hi there, the basic ingredients:

minced pork
fish sauce
cut fresh chillies
clove of garlic, chopped
fresh basil leaves, some cut into thin strips
fresh ground pepper

First heat oil in frying pan. When hot, fry the garlic till lightly brown . Add in the chopped basil leaves to bring out the flavour. Add in the minced pork and stir through. Add fish sauce for taste. Pepper as necessary to get a bit of spicy taste. Then add in the chillies, depending on your tolerance. Add the rest of whole basil leaves and combine and stir in the pan till the pork is cooked. Usually this final part, best to have high heat to cook through and bring out all the aroma. Serve and enjoy.

You can add in a dash of lime if you like it a bit tangy. I also add in a tiny pinch of sugar to add a bit more flavour to the whole dish.

Hope this helps you to taste it whenever you like.

p.s. I fried some basil leaves first to get more flavour into the oil for cooking the pork :)

im thirteen, and im not that experienced.
but peanutz....nope. you do NOT put the basil leaves in first!!!
you fry the garlic REALLY lightly first, THEN put in the chilli.
keep on frying a bit more, making sure you stir it consistently
then put in the pork.
just stir-fry until its cooked, then add basil leaves. then you add some oyster sauce or fish sauce........stir-fry a bit more.....

and voila ur done. (follo the amount of ingredients that peanutz said)

this stuff goes best with fried egg.
