Method
step 1
This dish comes together quite quickly, so have all the ingredients to hand. Pour the vegetable oil into a large frying pan or wok over a high heat. Once shimmering, add the shallot, lemongrass, chillies and garlic. Cook for 5-6 mins, stirring, until softened and the edges are golden. Pour the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce and sugar into a small bowl or jug and stir in 1 tbsp water to combine.
step 2
Stir the pork into the pan, then pour in the sauce and green beans. Cook for an additional 5-6 mins, stirring all the while. When the beans are tender with a little bit of bite, stir in the Thai basil.
step 3
Serve immediately alongside the rice, garnished with more chillies if you want extra heat.
