Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add minced garlic and crushed bird's eye chilies. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 2
Add minced pork to the wok. Break it up with your spatula and stir-fry until cooked through and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3
Pour in fish sauce, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Stir well to coat the pork and let the sauce thicken slightly.
Step 4
Add holy basil leaves and toss vigorously for about 30 seconds until the leaves wilt. Remove from heat immediately to preserve the basil's aroma.
Step 5
In a separate pan, heat remaining 1 tbsp oil over medium-high heat. Fry eggs until the whites are crispy and the yolks are runny.
Step 6
Serve the spicy basil pork over hot jasmine rice, topped with a fried egg.
