Thai Basil Pork Recipes

Steps:

• In a mortar pound garlic and chilies with a little salt into paste.
• Heat 2-3 tbsps canola oil in frying pan and brown the paste.
• Add in the pork, making sure you break it up.
• When meat is cooked (very fast; don't overcook), add in oyster sauce, fish sauce and sugar.
• Stir in basil leaves. Add more fish sauce and sugar if needed.

Steps:

• Place the pork in the freezer about 10 minutes to make it easier to slice. Soak the noodles in very hot water until just tender, about 10 minutes; drain. Snip the noodles with scissors into shorter lengths. Cut the frozen pork crosswise into 1/4-inch-wide strips.
• Puree the cilantro, lime zest and juice, ginger, garlic, jalapenos, shallots, fish sauce, brown sugar and 1 tablespoon water in a food processor until smooth, scraping down the processor as needed.
• Heat 3 tablespoons peanut oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add half the cilantro mixture and stir-fry 1 minute. Add the pork and stir-fry until no longer pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the pork with a slotted spoon to a plate. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon peanut oil to the skillet; add the green beans and stir-fry until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the noodles, pork and 2 tablespoons of the remaining cilantro mixture. Cook, tossing with tongs, until heated through, about 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining cilantro mixture to taste.

Steps:

• Combine broth, fish sauce, sugar and chili garlic sauce in a small bowl.
• Place a wok over high heat until hot. Add oil, swirling to coat sides.
• Add garlic and chilies, cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add pork and stir-fry until no longer pink, about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes.
• Add basil and green onions. Stir-fry for 1 minute.
• Add sauce and bring to a boil. Add cornstarch solution, stirring, until boils again and thickens.
• Serve with rice or noodles.

Steps:

• Toss the pork chops with the lime juice in a bowl until evenly covered. Toss with garlic and basil. Season the chops to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Cook the pork chops on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center, 5 to 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Steps:

• Heat oil in a wok over high heat. Add garlic and chile peppers and cook until garlic starts to brown, about 30 seconds. Add pork and stir-fry until browned, about 3 minutes. Pour in dark soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, and fish sauce. Cook and stir until liquid has reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
• Add chile paste, onion, and bell pepper. Stir-fry until pork is cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in basil leaves and season with pepper. Stir until well combined.
