This Thai street-style recipe transforms simple pork mince into a bold and aromatic dish. Garlic and red chillies are stir-fried at high heat to release their fragrance, then pork mince is added and cooked until golden. Soy and oyster sauces bring depth and savoury notes, while fresh basil leaves finish the dish with a burst of freshness. Served hot with steamed rice, itโs a fast, flavour-packed meal inspired by Thai street food.
