6 oz long green beans (you can substitute with any green beans)
2 tbsp Thai thin soy sauce
2 tbsp Thai fish sauce
3 to 4 tbsp palm sugar or honey
Handful Thai basil, holy basil or sweet basil leaves
Steps
Combine pork belly, 1 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp fish sauce, 1/4 tsp black pepper and 1 tsp lime juice in a mixing bowl. Let it marinate for 20 minutes and meanwhile, prepare other ingredients.
Heat a wok or a large skillet over high heat and add cooking oil. Add marinated pork belly and cook until pork belly is crispy, about 5 to 6 minutes. You will see lots of fat melted in wok, so turn off heat and remove most of pork fat but leave 1 tbsp in wok. (I usually pour into my grease jar.)
Place wok back to over high heat then add chopped garlic and chili. Stir fry until you smell aroma, about 30 seconds. Add green beans, soy sauce, fish sauce and palm sugar. Stir everything together, about 2 minutes.
Stir in basil and turn off heat immediately. Serve with freshly cooked warm jasmine rice, fried egg and lime to your taste. Enjoy!

Kristie V. on 2021-05-02 (5 stars): I made this because I had a lot of thai basil and it is good. I didn't put any peppers in this time but will next time because it just balance the salty and sweet. Lol.
