Red words, recipe changed

Ingredients

• 3 pound of ground pork, beef, or chicken 
• 2 large  garlic, peeled and chopped
• chilies
• 3 large shallot, peeled and roughly chopped
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 2 tablespoons thin/light soy sauce or seasoning sauce (I used Hoisin sauce, tune out good!)
• 1 tablespoon thai green curry paste (I am going to use basil paste next time)
• 1 cup holy basil leaves, packed
• 2 box tomatoes cut in half (make it sour, I love the it)
• cooking wine
• 1 teaspoon of palm or brown sugar 
• 2 tablespoon chicken bouillon

Instructions

1. In a skillet, add the meat to the skillet and break it up with the spatula into small pieces. (gird rid of the meat smell)
2. Add the garlic, chilies, and shallot.(made the paste in a mini-chopper.)
3. Add the remaining ingredients (except the basil leaves)
4. Once the meat is cooked through, check the amount of liquid in the skillet. If it’s too dry, add a little bit of water or sodium-free broth.
5. Before taking the skillet off the heat, add the basil leaves to the mixture and give it a couple of stirs.
6. add tomatoes.
7. Serve over rice. A Thai-style crispy fried egg on top and a tiny bowl of nam-pla prik would be nice.
