PORK, BASIL AND CHILLI STIR FRY - THAI STYLE



Pork, Basil and Chilli Stir Fry - Thai Style image

My best friend, Deb, bought me a class at a Thai cooking school for my birthday. This was my favourite recipe. The most important thing I learned was, when it comes to Thai cooking, don't use substitutes - you only get the real flavour if you take the trouble to buy the right ingredients. This should be cooked in a wok, but a frypan will do if you don't have one. Don't be worried by the chillies, this dish is mild - as long as you remove the seeds from the chillies.

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

500 g pork fillets, chopped into small, bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons garlic, finely chopped
4 shallots, finely sliced (use golden or red shallots)
2 large red chilies, deseeded then finely chopped
2 large green chilies, deseeded then finely chopped
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon palm sugar
1 cup basil leaves, torn (use Thai basil if available, but sweet basil will be fine)
vegetable oil
white pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare all ingredients in advance.
  • Place wok or pan over a moderate heat and add 2 tablespoons oil.
  • Add garlic and stir fry gently until it is just starting to colour lightly.
  • Add the sliced shallots and stir fry for a few minutes until they are transparent.
  • Remove garlic and shallots to another dish and set aside until needed.
  • Add a little more oil to the pan and increase heat.
  • Stir fry pork, in batches, until it is coloured (it doesn't have to be cooked through).
  • When the last batch of pork is cooked, add the shallots and garlic and the remaining pork to the pan.
  • Add the chillies and stir fry for a minute or two.
  • Now add the oyster sauce, fish sauce and palm sugar.
  • Stir fry for about 5 minutes or so until pork is cooked and the sauce is slightly caramelised.
  • Add basil and stir fry until wilted.
  • Before serving, sprinkle lightly with white pepper.
  • Serve with steamed jasmine rice.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and ready to go. This will help you save time and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your stir-fry the best flavor. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Choose the right cooking oil: Use a high-heat cooking oil, such as grapeseed oil or avocado oil. These oils can withstand high temperatures without burning.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet: A hot wok or skillet will help to create a nice sear on your vegetables and meat.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of stir-frying. Cook in batches if necessary.
  • Stir constantly: Stirring constantly will help to prevent the vegetables from burning and will also help to evenly distribute the sauce.
  • Season to taste: Once the stir-fry is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices.

Conclusion:

Basil and chili stir-fry paste is a versatile and delicious condiment that can be used to make a variety of dishes. It's perfect for stir-fries, noodles, and curries. With its spicy and aromatic flavor, basil and chili stir-fry paste is sure to add a boost of flavor to your next meal.
