Heat ¼ cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Crack 4 large eggs into pan; cook, tilting pan so oil runs over eggs and spooning oil over whites, until whites are set and edges are golden brown and very crisp but yolks are still runny, 2–⏱️ 3 minutes. Remove from heat (to help oil cool slightly). Using a slotted spoon, transfer eggs to a plate.

Return pan to medium-high heat. Cook 3 medium shallots, thinly sliced, stirring with a wooden spoon, until just softened, 1–⏱️ 2 minutes. Add 5 red Thai or Fresno chiles, finely chopped, and 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped; cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, about ⏱️ 1 minute. Add 1 lb. ground pork and cook, stirring and breaking up meat, until starting to brown, 2–⏱️ 3 minutes. Add reserved soy sauce mixture; cook, stirring often and breaking up pork more, until liquid is evaporated, about ⏱️ 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add 1 large bunch basil, leaves plucked; stir until wilted.
