Thai Pork with Basil & Bamboo Shoots

INGREDIENTS
Approximately 2 - 3 TSP olive oil
4 large cloves of garlic smashed and minced
2 TSP hot chili oil
4 - 10 Thai chilies minced (less or more depending on your preferred heat)
1 TSP crushed coriander सीड
2 lbs of minced or ground pork meat
2 TSP soy sauce with lemon preferably calamansi
2 TSP cooking sherry
2 TSP oyster sauce
2 TSP fish sauce
1 TSP sugar
2 cups of julienned bamboo shoots
1/2 cup of chopped/julienned basil

PREPARATION
In a wok, or large pan heat oil, but not too hot as olive oil has a low burning point. Add the garlic and saute lightly, then add the Thai chilies, coriander and hot chili oil. Saute until very fragrant, about two minutes.

Now add the minced pork and stir fry meat on medium high heat making sure that it gets broken up. In between stirs keep meat covered so the juices don't evaporate. Once meat is fully cooked, you will add all the additional ingredients, except the basil in no specific order; soy sauce, lemon juice, oyster sauce, sherry, fish sauce, sugar, and bamboo shoots.

Simmer the mix of meat and sauces with the bamboo shoots for about 5 minutes and then add the basil last. Toss to mix ingredients thoroughly, and turn heat off keeping covered so the steam and the heat will release the basil flavor into the dish.

Toss again before serving. Make sure to taste the dish if it needs additional salt. You are cooking with fish sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, which are all already salty, so unless you are a salt fanatic, the dish should be seasoned perfectly. Serve with jasmine rice.
