INSTRUCTIONS 做法
1. Finely chop the onion, and blend garlic and chilies into a paste. Dice the long beans. 洋葱切碎，大蒜和辣椒用料理机打碎。豇豆切丁。
2.Use 2/3 of the chili-garlic mixture for stir-frying, and reserve 1/3 to make a dipping sauce. To prepare the dipping sauce, mix in a squeeze of lime juice, a few drops of fish sauce, and a splash of water. 2/3用来炒菜，剩下的1/3用来调蘸汁。蘸汁做法：加入少许柠檬汁、几滴鱼露和一点清水拌匀即可。
3. Pick the Thai basil leaves and discard the stems. 九层塔取叶子，去掉茎。
4. Make a stir-fry sauce: 15 g light soy sauce, 10 g fish sauce, 5 g oyster sauce, plus a pinch of sugar and black pepper. 调一个炒菜酱汁：生抽15克，鱼露10克，蚝油5克，白糖和黑胡椒粉各少许。
5. Fry one egg with a little bit of extra oil. 锅里多放一点油，先煎一个鸡蛋。
6. Using the remaining oil from the fried egg, sauté 2/3 of the chili-garlic paste with half of the chopped onion until fragrant. 利用煎蛋剩下的油炒香2/3的大蒜辣椒末和一半洋葱。
7. Add the ground meat and stir-fry until the liquid evaporates and the meat is well separated. 炒香后加入肉馅，炒至水分收干并完全炒散。
8. Add the long beans and the prepared sauce, stir-fry over high heat for about 2 minutes until the beans are cooked through. 加入豇豆和调好的酱汁，大火翻炒约2分钟，确保豇豆炒熟。
9. Finally, add the remaining onion and Thai basil leaves. Turn off the heat and toss everything with the residual heat. Serve with the dipping sauce on the side. 最后加入剩下的洋葱和九层塔叶子，关火，用余温快速翻拌即可。上桌时可淋上之前调好的蘸汁。
Voila! Bon appétit!
Tips:
- You can substitute ground pork with ground beef or chicken thigh. 猪肉馅可以换成牛肉馅或鸡肉块。
- Make sure the long beans are fully cooked for best taste and safety. 豇豆一定要炒熟，不熟容易中毒。
