Khao Pad Kra Pao is a popular Thai dish of fried rice with holy basil (kra pao), chili and garlic. It smells of basil and garlic and has a good kick of heat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (cold, day-old rice works best)
- 200 g ground pork or chicken
- 1 handful holy basil (kra pao)
- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 3 Thai chilies, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 egg (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a pan or wok over medium heat.
- Add the chopped garlic and chilies and fry until fragrant.
- Add the ground meat and fry until cooked through.
- Add the cold rice and fry everything together, stirring constantly so the rice does not stick to the pan.
- Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce and sugar and mix well.
- Once the rice is evenly coated, add the holy basil and stir-fry until it wilts.
- Optional: fry an egg sunny side up in a separate pan and serve it on top of the rice.
