Stir-fried Minced Pork with Thai Basil
The two commonly used forms of Thai basil are holy basil and sweet basil. For this recipe, traditionally, Thai holy basil is used. Holy basil has a reddish purple hue, with slightly hairy leaves , with the leaves being wider at the base than the top. Thai sweet basil is milder in flavour, and the leaves are more elongated. Thai sweet basil can be used too if holy basil is unavailable, but the flavour is slightly different.
One of the ingredients listed is kecap manis, or sweet soy sauce (commonly Indonesian). I stock it to make “Nasi Goreng” another family favourite. However, if you don’t have it, you can use oyster sauce, with a dash of sugar added to it. Also if you don’t have palm sugar substitute with light brown or white sugar.
