2. Cook the Pork:

- Remove the pork from the wok and set aside.
3. Stir-Fry Aromatics:
- In the same wok, add the minced garlic and sliced chili peppers.
- Stir-fry for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
4. Add Vegetables:
- Add the asparagus pieces to the wok and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender.
- Toss in the halved cherry tomatoes and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until they begin to soften.
5. Combine and Sauce:
- Return the cooked pork to the wok.
- Add the fish sauce, oyster sauce, and chicken gravy. Stir well to combine all the ingredients and coat them evenly with the sauce.
- Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring everything is well-mixed and heated through.
6. Finish with Basil:
- Just before serving, toss in the roughly chopped basil leaves.
- Stir everything a final time to distribute the basil's flavor.
7. Serve:
- Serve the chilli pork and asparagus stir-fry hot over a bed of steamed rice or noodles.

Tips:

- Slice the pork fillets thinly for faster cooking and better absorption of flavors.

- Adjust the amount of red hot chili peppers based on your preferred spice level.

- Stir-fry the asparagus until it's tender-crisp to maintain its bright color and crunchy texture.

- Add the cherry tomatoes towards the end of cooking to prevent them from getting too mushy.

- Garnish with fresh basil leaves just before serving to keep their vibrant flavor and aroma intact.
