Pad Kra Pao - my favourite spicy Thai recipe! 🇹🇭

Home Cooking Sessions: Pad Kra Pao. An incredible dish from Thailand that’s full of spice and umami. My recipe below! 👇🏽😍🇹🇭🌶️
-
1. Start with the meat - ground beef or pork, about 3-400g for 2 peeps. I used some pork loin chops, de-boned and thrown into the mincer twice for a finer texture
2. Using a pestle and mortar or food processor, crush up 3x cloves garlic, 6x Thai red chilli’s + 1x shallot
3. Smash and grind until you form a coarse paste
4. Heat up a seasoned wok to med-high, once smoking, add in some beef tallow or neutral, high smoke-point oil
5. Throw in your ground meat, season with sea salt and leave to sear
6. It’ll take some time to get good colour, so wait for the excess moisture to evaporate, then let it fry and brown
7. Once sufficiently coloured, remove and set aside, then throw the chilli paste into the same pan and sauté 1-2 mins
8. Once fragrant, add in a few chopped green beans and sauté for 1 min, then add back in the meat and toss to combine
9. For the sauce: combine half a puck of palm sugar, 2tbsp dark soy, 2tbsp light soy, 1.5tbsp fish sauce, 1.5tbsp oyster sauce
10. Add in 1 more Thai red chilli + the sauce, toss to combine, then add in a bunch of holy basil or Thai if you can’t find any - let this all fry / caramelise for 1 min to bring it all together, then take off the heat
11. Lace a pan with neutral oil, then add in one egg white and allow it to fry/bubble up. Once it’s crispy round the edges, add the yolk to the centre and remove the egg after 1 more minute
12. Serve this over fluffy Thai jasmine or sticky rice, topped with your crispy egg

This one’s fire. It’s hot, spicy, fragrant and meaty. So much flavour packed into each bite. One bowl is never enough. Enjoy! #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️

I’m Thai and this looks good. I’m glad you enjoy Thai food. I’d suggest you make a dipping sauce to go with it. 1 chillie(slice thin) 1 garlic(slice thin) 1 tbsp of fish sauce 1 tbsp of lime 1/2tbsp of sugar.

Omg I felt so satisfied to see someone finally wash the rice properly 😭🙏✨✨✨✨

My favorite food and cooking channel. In this long format, The quietness and just hearing the sound of the cooking has a unique charm. I also love to guess the ingredients.

[AlyssaAKL]

Everything looks so good. More holy basil please since 'Kra Prow' means basil after all. 🤤

[oCROWoXIII]

I'm Thai and you did a great job. But there are many popular recipes like the one you made but without the long beans and with lots of basil leaves instead.
👍

Start of the new year with Thai food - I dig it 🤘🤘

[asneerojvatunyu]

I'm Thai of 75 yrs old, first time in my life seeing onion in Pad Kraprao.

perfect, you know how to wash rice properly
I'm asian and I really hate seeing Europeans and Americans washing rice indiscriminately.
+1 respect for u

Like the idea of taking the yolk out and frying the white bit first. Must give it a try! Thank you for sharing this recipe

[DeliciousVicious]

Thank you for not slapping the meat or using super fast annoying jumpcuts

[slejer]

I really appreciate this. I think most of us have had enough of the hysterical TikTok-food influencer format where someone is always punching the meat or some shit and watch aggressive chopping for 2 seconds. I watched this before going to bed and I was both inspired and could feel my soul relax. No music no gimmicks just good food.

[Liberty-VII]

i watched some of your shorts. You are an artist bro, great work <3

[djabodjabsen]

More garlic & more basil for me. Besides that, awesome 🎉

[Itz_XR]

I heckin love this dish, I go crazy every time I get some, Thailand got that flavor fr

[brianmancil]

made this 3 or 4 times now, such a great recipe. easy and fast enough for a weeknight meal but tastes amazing.

[nakiakuma]

Look really nice, love how you stir fried the meat to dry properly. For me, I won't add shallot, just garlic+fresh chilli+dry chilli.

[thefamilycat]

Magnificent! Thank you for adding the steps and recipe in the description! Gonna try this one out.

[charlieslack]
