Pad Krapao Thai Stir Fry Pork With Basil Recipes

PAD KRA PAO MOO- SPICY THAI BASIL PORK RECIPE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the ground pork and 1 tbsp of soy sauce, mix and set aside.
• In a mortar and pestle, pound peeled garlic cloves and Thai chili's until a chunky paste forms. Or you can chop them with a knife.
• Add oil to a large pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and chili's stir quickly, then add the ground pork. Turn the heat up to medium high.
• Continue stirring the pork and once it's halfway cooked add the remaining soy sauce and oyster sauce. Continue stirring until pork is cooked. Taste and see if additional sauce is needed. If you like it to have some sweetness you can add a little bit of sugar.
• Turn off the heat and add the Basil leaves.

PORK & HOLY BASIL STIR-FRY (PAD KRA PAO)

Steps:

• In a wok over medium high heat, add the oil, shallots and garlic, and fry for 3 minutes. Add the chilies and cook for another minute. Crank up the heat to high, and add the ground pork, breaking it up into small bits and allowing it to crisp up.
• Add the sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Stir-fry for another minute and deglaze the pan with the broth or water. Because your pan is over high heat, the liquid should cook off very quickly. Add the basil, and stir-fry until wilted. Serve over rice.

SPICY THAI BASIL CHICKEN (PAD KRAPOW GAI)

Steps:

• Whisk chicken broth, oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, white sugar, and brown sugar together in a bowl until well blended.
• Heat large skillet over high heat. Drizzle in oil. Add chicken and stir fry until it loses its raw color, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in shallots, garlic, and sliced chilies. Continue cooking on high heat until some of the juices start to caramelize in the bottom of the pan, about 2 or 3 more minutes. Add about a tablespoon of the sauce mixture to the skillet; cook and stir until sauce begins to caramelize, about 1 minute.
• Pour in the rest of the sauce. Cook and stir until sauce has deglazed the bottom of the pan. Continue to cook until sauce glazes onto the meat, 1 or 2 more minutes. Remove from heat.
• Stir in basil. Cook and stir until basil is wilted, about 20 seconds. Serve with rice.
