15-minute Thai Basil Pork Stir-fry

Thai basil pork is a classic Thai street food recipe made with minced pork, basil and chili. So simple and delicious, especially with an egg on top. This is a restaurant quality meal - and it can be ready and on the table in only 15 minutes!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon kecap manis (sweet thick Indonesian soy sauce)
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 4 tablespoons water
- 5.5 ounces fresh green beans (chopped into small lengths (1 to 2 inches))
- 3 small red chillis (de-seeded and chopped finely (Use up to 6 chilis depending on desired spice level!))
- 4 garlic cloves (crushed or chopped finely)
- 7 ounces minced pork (or chicken, turkey, beef!)
- 1/2 bunch fresh basil (Holy basil is great, but if you can't find it use regular basil (or Thai Basil if you like).)
