Method

1. Heat up 2 tablespoons of oil in the pan
2. Add the garlic and chilli paste(move it around until it is slightly yellow)
3. Add the minced that you have marinated. move it around until meat is no longer red.
4. Add the veg(green beans and Thai holy basil)
5. Taste, it should taste slightly spicy, a little bit too salty as you would be having it with fried egg and rice.

Tip:

• If it is too dry add a little bit of water or oil at the end.
• When frying an egg, the oil should be really hot and egg at room temperature. Don't move it around just use a spoon to scoop the hot oil over the yoke and you will get crispy whites and runny yoke.
• If it isn't salty enough add more oyster or soy sauce.
• You can use any other type of meat and veg e.g. chicken pieces, minced pork, seafood or a vegetarian one.
