How to Make Thai Basil Beef
- Warm vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.
- Add finely diced shallots and minced garlic to the hot skillet. Stir gently for about 30 seconds, until fragrant and golden.
- Introduce the ground beef into the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for about 6 minutes, or until browned and no longer pink.
- Stir in the fish sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and a pinch of granulated sugar. Cook for 2-3 minutes until well combined.
- Toss in the fresh Thai basil leaves and sliced chilies, stirring quickly for another 30 seconds until the basil wilts.
- Spoon the beef mixture generously over cooked jasmine rice.
- With any remaining oil, fry eggs until edges are crispy and yolks remain runny.
- Serve the fried eggs atop the stir-fry and garnish with additional fresh basil leaves.
