PORK, BASIL AND CHILLI STIR FRY - THAI STYLE
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.

Tips:
- To ensure the pork is tender and juicy, use a cut of pork that is suitable for stir-frying, such as pork tenderloin or flank steak. You can also use ground pork, but make sure to cook it thoroughly.
- If you don't have Thai basil, you can use regular basil or another type of herb, such as cilantro or mint. However, Thai basil has a unique flavor that really complements the pork.
- To make the dish more spicy, add more chili peppers or chili powder. You can also add other spices, such as ginger, garlic, or lemongrass.
- If you want a thicker sauce, add a cornstarch slurry to the pan towards the end of cooking. A cornstarch slurry is made by mixing equal parts cornstarch and water.
- Serve the pork with rice, noodles, or vegetables. You can also add a fried egg or a dollop of yogurt on top.
