Pork and Basil……..recipe as promised.

Ingredients:

For 1 serving.

100 gm pork loin sliced finely
2/3 birds eye chillies. cut in small slices.
2/3 cloves garlic finely sliced.

2 long beans( snake beans) chopped in small pieces.
2 stems Thai Sweet Basil called Horapa in Thai
1 tbsp Oyster Sauce.
Shake or 2 of Maggi ( seasoning sauce)
1/2 tsp black soy.

Let’s Cook!

Put a tiny bit oil in a small frying pan.

Add Oyster Sauce, Maggi and Black Soy stir to combine.

Add chillies and garlic and cook for 1 minute then add your finely sliced pork loin-stirring until cooked about 2- 3 mins. Add Green Beans and Thai Holy Basil cook for further 2 mins.

In the picture, I have served it with cauliflower rice but I also serve with steamed rice it depends just how I feel…

This is one of my favourite dishes…Holy basil is also used when making Thai Green Curry and also Thai pork salad… Called Larb here……Holy basil is truly a lovely herb…

I hope you enjoy recipes which are all tried, tested and authentic….

This looks really delicious, Carol. We haven’t made too many Thai dishes but I think the kids would enjoy this one.

  If they’re eating beans, don’t say too much about it! It may be weird but it’s so good for them 🙂

  I don’t, we are a family of veggie eaters..not veggie but eating veggies always have been 🙂 I think too much fuss is made getting kids to eat just treat it as something good and yummy or what I use to do with little Lily is say Oh no! don’t eat that you won’t like it! Works wonders…lol
