- Then add in the basil and stir fry until the basil is well incorporated and turn darker in color then off the heat..
- Drizzled in the sesame oil. I serve mine with a bowl of rice and sunny side up 😋😋.
This stir-fry recipe is a classic Thai Second recipe from the thai cuisine series : Thai Basil Minced Pork – Pad Kra Pao! The chicken is stir fried with Thai holy basil, and served on top of rice with a fried egg on the side. Pad Kra Pao means stir-fry basil, thus making it the main ingredient in this classic dish from Thailand. I used minced chicken in this recipe but feel free to use other types of meat to make either Pad Kra Pao Nua (Thai basil beef) or Pad Kra Pao Moo (Thai basil pork). So time to prep the sauce of the meat before preparing your ingredients.
