August Recipe #2: Pad Kra Pao 🍳🌿🍚
Added 2025-08-21 03:00:04 +0000 UTC⭐ Ingredients
2 tbsp pad kra pao chili paste (or garlic and red Thai chilis minced)
300g minced ground pork
1 tsp dark soy sauce
2 tsp oyster sauce
2 tsp fish sauce
1 tsp sugar
MSG
Holy basil (or Thai basil)
1 egg
On medium high heat, oil the pan and lightly fry the chili paste (or garlic-red chili mince).
Once fragrant, add in pork, and using a spatula, break up the meat as it cooks to prevent clumping.
Continue to let it cook until most of the rendered juice has evaporated.
Add in seasonings, not including the basil.
Continue stir frying, mix well, and adjust seasoning to taste.
Stir in holy basil and mix until fragrant and lightly wilted, about 2 min.
Plate and set aside.
Lightly clean the same pan, and add in frying oil (about 3 tbsp).
Once oil is glistening, rippling slightly, and slightly smoking, crack egg into oil and shallow fry.
Using a spoon, baste the egg whites with the oil, avoiding the yolk.
Once edges look golden and lacey, while maintaining raw yolk, remove egg and place on top of pork.
Serve hot with jasmine rice!
