Preparation Steps

Cook Jasmine Rice
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine the rice and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Prepare Green Curry Sauce
In a saucepan, heat a small amount of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the green curry paste and sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the coconut milk and oyster sauce, stirring well. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in fresh basil leaves and season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

Fry Basa Fillets
Season the basa fillets with salt and black pepper. In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the fillets and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
