Step 1
Mince the 4 garlic cloves and pick the 1 cup basil leaves, discarding thick stems. Set both aside.
Step 2
Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat with 2 tbsp vegetable oil. Add the garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 3
Add the 1 lb minced pork and spread it out. Let it sear without stirring for 1 minute, then break it up and stir-fry until no longer pink, about 4 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, and 1 tsp sugar. Cook for 1 minute until the sauce coats the pork and looks glossy.
Step 5
Turn off the heat and fold in the 1 cup basil leaves until they wilt, about 30 seconds. Serve hot over the 2 cups cooked rice.
