Pad Kra Pao (stir-fried basil with minced meat) is popular Thai street food with fantastic flavor, best for a quick lunch.
It can be done at home quickly because it is pretty simple to prepare. The ingredients required are also relatively easy to get, and of course, it will guarantee you have a great appetite that needs plenty of rice to go with it.
Its flavor is derived from the trinity of Thai seasonings- fish sauce, soy sauce, and oyster sauce. And, of course, it would be complete without the generous use of bird’s eye chili that scored high on the Scoville scale.
So here is the video for preparing the Thai-style stir-fry minced pork with basil.
Have a great meal :)
