Pad Kra Pao - How to stir-fry pork with Thai basil (amazing Thai recipe)

on


Pad Kra Pao is popular Thai stir-fried basil with minced meat street food with fantastic flavor, enjoyed best during lunch.
It can be done at home quickly because it is pretty simple to prepare. The ingredients required are also relatively easy to get, and of course, it will guarantee you have a great appetite that needs plenty of rice to go with it.
Its flavor is derived from the trinity of Thai seasonings- fish sauce, soy sauce, and oyster sauce. And, of course, it would be complete without the generous use of bird’s eye chili that scored high on the Scoville scale.
So here is the video for preparing the Thai-style stir-fry minced pork with basil.
Have a great meal :)

400g ground pork
3 stalks of long beans (50g)
1 large handful of Thai basil (30g dry weight)
2 eggs
B (seasonings)

1.5  tbsp light soy sauce
2 tsp dark soy sauce
2 tbsp sugar

- Let it fry undisturbed until the edges bubble up and turn crispy. 
- Keep some remaining oil from frying the egg in the large skillet or wok. Stir-fry the long bean until fragrant. Remove. 
- Add more oil to the wok and saute the chopped chili and garlic until aromatic. 
- Now add the ground meat to the wok. Loosen it with the wok spatula and stir-fry the pork until aromatic and turn slightly brown with medium heat. 
- Pour the seasoning mixture and mix thoroughly with the meat. 
- Throw in the Thai holy basil leaves and give it a few quick flips and stirs.
- When the leave is about to wilt, add the long beans to mix and remove from the wok.
- Dish out and serve with rice and the fried egg.
