Method

1. 1 Grind the garlic and chili peppers in a mortar until they form a coarse paste; chopping with a knife doesn't bring out the same aroma as grinding.
2. 2 Heat the pan until very hot, then sauté the garlic and chili for 30 seconds. If the pan isn't hot enough, the dish will release water and taste bland.
3. 3 Add the coarsely minced pork to the pan and stir-fry over high heat for 3 minutes until the meat is browned.
4. 4 Season with fish sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce, and sugar, then stir for 60 seconds until the sauce coats the meat.
5. 5 Turn off the heat, then add the handful of basil leaves and stir for 15 seconds using the remaining heat.
6. 6 Fry a crispy-edged sunny-side-up egg and place it on top of the rice along with the stir-fried meat.
