Spicy Thai Basil Pork Stir-Fry

 

Spicy Thai Basil Pork Stir-Fry is a classic Thai dish known for its bold flavors and aromatic ingredients. It features tender pork stir-fried with fresh Thai basil, garlic, chili peppers, and a savory sauce.
Thinly sliced pork is quickly cooked in a hot wok with garlic, chili peppers, and a savory sauce made from ingredients like soy sauce, oyster sauce, and fish sauce. The dish gets its distinctive flavor from the fragrant Thai basil leaves, which are added towards the end of cooking to infuse the dish with their peppery and slightly sweet aroma. 
Thai Basil Pork Stir-Fry is typically served hot over steamed rice, making it a satisfying and flavorful meal. It's a popular street food dish in Thailand and is also commonly found in Thai restaurants worldwide.
