Thai Ground Pork Basil 泰式九層塔炒肉 ($4.2 for Two)
In Taiwan, there are always so many different types of food to choose from when it comes to dinner time. Last year, my husband and I were hungry and walking the sreets of Kaohsiung, but we couldn’t decide what to eat. All of a sudden we saw a Thai restaurant, so we went in and tried this dish. Originally, we ordered the dish medium hot. The waitress came back to us and advised us to order mild. It was still so spicy that we drank about a gallon of water each. However, it was certainly delicious. This is my version of spicy Thai pork Basil.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of ground pork ($2)
- 1 cup of fresh basil leaves ($0.5)
- 1 tbsp hot bean paste (amount can be varied) ($0.4)
- 1tsp fish sauce ($0.2)
- 2tsp soy sauce ($0.3)
- 1/2 sugar ($0.3)
- 3tbsp water ($0.1)
- 1tbsp oil ($0.4)
Total $4.2 for Two
1. Brown the pork in oil. Then add soy sauce, sugar, hot bean paste and fish sauce.
2. Stir until pork is completely cooked. Add water and basil.
3. Serve on hot rice. You can even add a sunny sideup egg on top.
