Categories     Pork

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 shallots ((thinly sliced))
7 cloves garlic ((sliced))
3 Thai bird or holland chilies ((de-seeded, if desired, and thinly sliced))
1 pound ground pork ((450g))
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon thin/light soy sauce
2 teaspoons dark soy sauce
2 teaspoons oyster sauce
⅓ cup low sodium chicken broth or water
holy basil leaves ((about 1 1/2 cups packed))

Steps:

  • In a wok over medium high heat, add the oil, shallots and garlic, and fry for 3 minutes. Add the chilies and cook for another minute. Crank up the heat to high, and add the ground pork, breaking it up into small bits and allowing it to crisp up.
  • Add the sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Stir-fry for another minute and deglaze the pan with the broth or water. Because your pan is over high heat, the liquid should cook off very quickly. Add the basil, and stir-fry until wilted. Serve over rice.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, flavorful herbs, and tender pork will make all the difference in your broth.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too many ingredients to the pot, the broth will become cloudy and the flavors will be diluted.
  • Simmer, don't boil: Bringing the broth to a boil will make it cloudy and cause the vegetables to lose their crispness. Instead, simmer the broth gently for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour for a more flavorful broth.
  • Season to taste: Once the broth is finished simmering, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
  • Serve immediately: Thai pork and vegetable broth is best served hot, with rice or noodles.

Conclusion:

Thai pork and vegetable broth is a delicious and healthy soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover pork and vegetables. With its bold flavors and aromatic broth, this soup is sure to please everyone at your table.
