Thai Basil Pork Belly (15 minute recipe)

Serves 4

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

5 cloves garlic (sliced)

3 Thai bird chilies (thinly sliced)

1 pound lean pork belly (thinly sliced)

1 tablespoon light soy sauce (or Thai thin soy sauce)

2 teaspoons Thai black soy sauce (or 1 teaspoon Chinese dark soy sauce)

1 1/2 cups holy basil or Thai basil leaves (packed)

In a wok over medium heat, add the oil, garlic, and chilies. Cook for 1 minute. Crank up the heat to high, and add the pork belly. Stir-fry until caramelized and a little crisp, 2 minutes.
