  1. Pound the garlic and chilli in a pestle and mortar. (Alternatively, you can crush and then finely mince it if there is no pestle and mortar available)
  2. Heat the oil in a pan, when it is hot, add the chilli and garlic. Stir until it is fragrant and infused into the oil (30 seconds). Do not colour the garlic as it will turn bitter.
  3. Add the minced beef and stir-fry on high heat for three minutes.
  4. Add the spring onions, sliced onions, and half the picked basil. Stir fry for one minute.
  5. Add sugar, soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, water, and salt. Cook for two minutes on high heat.
  6. Add the remaining picked basil. Remove from heat right away.
  7. Best served with a sunny side up and hot rice.

Note: Sweet basil can be used as an alternative to holy basil, if you wish.
