Special Precautions and Tips:
- To make sure the pork is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
- If you can't find fresh Thai basil, you can substitute regular basil. However, the flavor will be slightly different.
- If you don't have fish sauce, you can substitute soy sauce or tamari.
