Ingredients
- 2 tsp coconut oil
- 500 g 5% fat pork mince
- 1 red pepper, finely chopped
- 4 spring onions, finely chopped
- 1 green chilli, finely chopped
- 5 g ginger, mashed
- 5 g garlic, mashed
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 100 ml water
- 1 tsp honey
- A handful, fresh basil leaves
- Lime, for finishing
Instructions
Heat 1 tsp coconut oil in a wok over high heat. Add the pork mince and let it sizzle for 8-10 minutes until golden and slightly crispy. Remove from the wok and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tsp coconut oil. Toss in the red pepper and spring onions and stir-fry for a minute until slightly softened.
Add the chilli, garlic, and ginger and fry for 30 seconds. If your kitchen suddenly smells like a Thai street market, you're doing it right.
Add the cooked pork back to the wok along with the fish sauce, soy sauce, water, and honey. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes to soak up all that flavour.
Stir in the fresh basil until it just wilts – don’t overdo it, we want it vibrant and fragrant.
Spoon over rice, squeeze some lime juice on top, and devour immediately. Bonus points if you add a crispy fried egg.
