Pad Kra Pao (ผัดกะเพรา) is a spicy stir-fried dish infused with fragrances from holy basil (called Kra Pao in Thai), chili, and garlic with a protein of choice (chicken, beef, pork, tofu, seafood or anything!). A quick and easy meal found on every street corner of Thailand.
Holy basil infused with heat gives the dish a unique, slightly peppery flavor, which is complemented by the spiciness of chili and the richness of protein. The dish is often served with a fried egg on top, adding another layer of flavor and texture.
