Steps:
- In a wok over medium high heat, add the oil, shallots and garlic, and fry for 3 minutes. Add the chilies and cook for another minute. Crank up the heat to high, and add the ground pork, breaking it up into small bits and allowing it to crisp up.
- Add the sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Stir-fry for another minute and deglaze the pan with the broth or water. Because your pan is over high heat, the liquid should cook off very quickly. Add the basil, and stir-fry until wilted. Serve over rice.

PORK PAD KRA PAO
Kra Pao is the spicy kind of basil, as opposed to Thai basil. Look for a lighter green, somewhat crinkled leaf compared to Thai basil. You can use Thai basil if it's all you can get, and it will taste just fine, but will be less spicy. You can make this recipe using any kind of meat, or even just eggplant for a vegetarian version. Vary the amount of chili paste and chilies to control the heat. I often just leave out the chiles. Red or green chilies are both fine.
