Method
Thinly slice the pork, finely chop the chillies and garlic, and pick the holy basil leaves.
Whisk together the fish sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce and palm sugar in a small bowl.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a wok over high heat and stir-fry the garlic and chillies for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the pork and stir-fry for 6 minutes until browned and cooked through, checking the thickest piece reads 63°C on a meat thermometer.
Push the pork to one side, pour in the remaining oil and the noodles, and toss for 4 minutes until tender.
Add the sauce and cherry tomatoes, and toss for 2 minutes until evenly coated.
Remove from the heat and stir through the holy basil until wilted.
