Spicy Pork with Fragrant Basil

This is a mouth-watering Thai-inspired dish. The minced pork is quickly stir-fried and tossed with so much fragrant basil that the seasoning almost plays the role of a green vegetable. Thai cookery, it seems, can never use too much basil. And here it is used to such good effect, helping to produce a marvellously aromatic dish that goes extremely well with plain rice. It is easy to make and is therefore ideal for a quick but exotic family meal.
