Author Notes
Hands down this is my ultimate comfort food. Served all day on the streets, though eaten mostly during breakfast and all throughout daytime. This one meal dish is stir-fried quickly and gobbled down even quicker. Pork, chilies, a few sauces thrown in, finishing with a big generous handful of thai basil, and topping off with a fried egg and a splash of fish chili sauce onto the rice. (Making it at home, I like to put the additional red/yellow bell pepper for color and nutrition) —FrancesRen
