Instructions
Peel the eggs carefully and cut into quarters. This works best if you hold the eggs in your hand. In a small pot, heat oil. Roll the quartered eggs in flour and deep-fry in hot oil until golden brown. Set aside and drain on paper towels.Grind chilies and garlic briefly, using a mortar.
In a wok or pan, heat oil and fry the chili and garlic mixture for about 1 minute. Add the minced pork and stir until well combined. Add the stock powder. Fry until the meat is is quite dry, then season to taste using the sauces and sugar. Carefully add the fried eggs and one part of the basil leaves.
Heat oil in a small pan and fry the other part of the basil leaves. They only need a short time to become crispy; take care not to burn them. Put on kitchen paper to drain.
Arrange the meat on a platter, sprinkle with the crispy fried basil leaves and garnish with some cucumber slices. Serve with rice.
