Thai Beef With Chilies And Basil Over Coconut Rice - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/4 cups jasmine rice
    1 (398 ml) can coconut milk
    coarse salt
    2 tablespoons fish sauce
    1 teaspoon fish sauce
    2 tablespoons soy sauce
    1 teaspoon soy sauce
    1 teaspoon sugar
    1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    3 garlic cloves, chopped
    3 long hot peppers or 3 red jalapeno chilies, seeded and sliced into two-inch match sticks
    1 1/3 lbs ground beef sirloin
    1 cup torn fresh basil leaf, loosely packed
    lime wedge, for serving
Preparation
    In a medium saucepan, combine rice, coconut milk, 3/4 cup water and 1/2 teaspoons salt. Cover and bring to a boil; reduce to simmer; cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, about 25 minutes.
    When the rice is almost done, combine fish sauce, soy sauce and sugar in a small bowl; set aside.
    Heat a cast-iron skillet or wok over high heat. Add oil and heat; add garlic and half the chilies. Cook, stirring constantly, 15 seconds.
    Add beef and cook, breaking up meat with a woooden spoon, until completely browned, about 4 minutes.
    Add soy mixture and cook 30 seconds. Add basil and remaining chilies and stir to combine.
    Serve beef over coconut rice with lime wedges.
