Cooking ~ Thai Basil Minced Pork

I have 2 more stems of fresh basil standing pretty in a vase on my kitchen top. But it doesn't look like it is going to survive another day. So I had to quickly use it. Yes, another basilish day :)

Today, I made my favourite thai dish. Thai Basil Minced Pork.

Sauce/Seasonings:

1. 2 tsp fish sauce

2. 1 tsp sugar
