How to Make Minced Beef With Chilli Garlic Holy Basil
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or large pan over medium-high heat. Add 3-4 finely chopped small red chilies and 3 minced cloves of garlic. Stir-fry until fragrant and the chilies begin to soften (about 2 minutes).
- Add 1 tablespoon of palm sugar, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of sweet soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce to the wok.
- Mix well until the palm sugar dissolves. Add 250g of minced beef.
- Gently cook the beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and sealed (about 5 minutes). Continuously mash the beef to ensure even cooking.
- Add 2-3 roughly torn kaffir lime leaves and 1 cup of beef stock or water.
- Mix well and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Stir in 1/4 cup of holy basil leaves and 1-2 thinly sliced long red chilies (optional). Cook until the basil wilts (about 1 minute).
- Sprinkle with 2 thinly sliced spring onions. Serve immediately over steamed rice.
