So I used a recipe I found online a long time ago and since then have just made it my own. I don't measure anything but I will try to be as descriptive as possible!
Ingredients:
Always start with starch. Prep and cook rice.
[Prep] Dice up about 3 cloves of garlic, and thinly slice one small onion (don't dice). Rinse 1 big scallion and cut ( I separate the white and green parts. White i cut straight, and the green I cut on an angle) Peel off basil leaves and rinse. Rinse romaine/iceberg (any lettuce)
[Cook]Heat up your frying pan on high heat, add some cooking oil, and before the pan starts smoking add the onions and half of the diced garlic (cook for about 30-45 seconds till the garlic becomes aromatic). Then add a nice teaspoon of chili oil (let that simmer a bit).
Next add your ground pork (about a lb or so). Break up the pork with chopsticks or a spatula and let that cook till brown on one side. Add in 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of oyster sauce, a dash of sugar to enhance the flavors, 1.5 teaspoons of soysauce (or a dash of salt and 1 teaspoon of soy) and if you have fish sauce add 1/2 a teaspoon. Stir and lower heat to medium and cook the pork till its almost done (~5 minutes)
Use a lot of basil! Don't be shy as this stuff shrinks. Wash it thoroughly, and add a nice bunch to the pan. Stir and raise the heat back to high. Cook for about 2/3 minutes, when the basil starts to shrink and chance color. At this point, it may be a little watery from all the pork juices but the high heat should reduce most of that. DON'T overcook the pork else it will become tough. Let the pork sit and soak in all the juices.
Fry an egg or two. Then Add rice and pork to plate with an egg on top and voila! Simple, delicious lettuce wraps.
For added flavor, you can easily make chicken rice or coconut rice instead of plain jasmine/white rice.
This is pretty much what I do. At this point it is loosely considered "thai". You're supposed to use holy basil but I've no idea where to get that. It is delicious and if you don't like spicy you can skip the chili oil. :)
This Chili oil - and I get it from a Chinese grocery, not Amazon :)
Well, you can buy it or use google and learn how to make it.
Have you tried Chiu Chow style chili oil?
I would recommend this because there's a bit more flavors than just peppers and oil.
They talk about it here too.
