Ingredients

16 oz. ground beef

4 cloves garlic (finely minced)

2 Thai chilies (thinly sliced)

1 cup Thai basil leaves

Neutral oil (for cooking)

1 tbsp dark soy sauce

2 tbsp light soy sauce

1 tbsp fish sauce

1 tbsp oyster sauce

2 tsp sugar

Steamed rice

Fried egg

Directions

Finely mince the garlic and thinly slice the Thai chilies.

In a small bowl, combine dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Mix thoroughly and set aside.

Heat a pan over medium heat with a bit of oil. Add the garlic and chilies and cook until fragrant.

Add in the ground beef and break it apart, cooking until mostly browned.

Add the Thai basil and cook just until wilted, then remove from the heat.

Serve over a fresh bowl of rice and optionally top with a fried egg.
