Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice pork tenderloin against the grain into 0.25-inch thick pieces. Pat dry with paper towels.

  2. Step 2

    Mince garlic, slice shallot, and finely chop Thai chilies. Whisk together fish sauce, soy sauce, and palm sugar in a small bowl.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a 12-inch wok or skillet over high heat until smoking. Add pork in a single layer and sear 2 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to a plate.

  4. Step 4

    Add remaining 1 tbsp oil to the wok. Add garlic, shallot, and chili; stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.

  5. Step 5

    Return pork to the wok, pour in sauce, and toss constantly for 1-2 minutes until the pork is coated and cooked through.

  6. Step 6

    Remove from heat and stir in fresh Thai basil until just wilted, about 30 seconds.

  7. Step 7

    Serve immediately over jasmine rice.
