5 red birds-eye chilli, rough chopped
6 cloves garlic, rough chopped

Prik Nam Pla: put the ingredients into a screw-top jar and shake well.
Cook the rice then set aside.
Combine fish sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce and sugar with a dash of water in a separate bowl. Pound the chilli and garlic to a paste in a pestle & mortar.
In a wok, fry the garlic & chilli paste in a tablespoon of oil until the garlic starts to brown. Add pork, SIDS CRAZY SALT and shallots, then cook for a couple of minutes before adding the fish sauce mixture and the green beans. Cook for a couple more minutes then remove pan from heat. Add basil and stir until it wilts.
Fry the eggs in plenty of oil until bubbly with brown, crispy edges.
