Heat the oil in a wok and throw in the chili-garlic pate and fry until fragrant. Add the pork and cook through then add green benas.
Add the soy and fish sauce mix and stir through, allowing to bubble before adding nearly all the basil and wilting it into the dish.
Serve over steam rice and scatter additional basil leaves on top as well as some fried eggs.
Fry some eggs, but leave the yolks runny.

Do not substitute Thai Basil leaves with other types of basil. The flavour and taste is very much different.
