Preparation
- Chop and mash together the garlic and Thai chiles to make a paste.
- In a large pan over medium-high heat, sear the ground beef for 4–5 minutes, until the fat has rendered. Drain the excess fat, then increase the heat to high and continue to sear until the beef is nicely browned, 2–3 minutes more. Add the garlic Thai chile paste and sauté for 2 minutes.

- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the basil. Serve with steamed white rice and fried eggs.
