Ingredients
- White rice
- 2 cups, cooked
- Thai basil leaves
- 1 cup, packed
- Sugar
- 1 teaspoon
- Oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons
- Fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon
- Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Thai chili peppers
- 3-4, sliced (adjust to taste)
- Garlic
- 4 cloves, minced
- Minced pork
- 1 pound
Instructions
- Start by cooking the white rice according to package instructions so it's ready to serve with the stir-fry.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot before adding other ingredients.
- Add the minced garlic and sliced chili peppers to the oil. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not burnt.
- Add the minced pork to the wok, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until the pork is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix together the fish sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar until well combined. Pour the sauce mixture into the wok and stir well to coat the pork evenly.
- Add the Thai basil leaves to the wok and stir-fry for another minute until they are wilted and fragrant.
- Taste the dish and adjust seasoning if needed; you can add more fish sauce or sugar to taste.
- Serve the Pad Krapow Moo Saap hot over a bed of cooked white rice. Enjoy the delicious balance of flavors!
Tips
- For an extra kick, you can add a splash of soy sauce or a few more chili peppers.
- Feel free to substitute the minced pork with minced chicken, beef, or tofu for a different twist.
- If you can't find Thai basil, regular basil can be used, but the flavor will differ slightly.
