Fakeaway Series Pad Kra Pao (Thai Pork and Basil) (serves 4)
This recipe typically uses Thai Holy Basil, hence the name, however, as hard as I may try, I just cannot find it in the UK, so I’ve replaced it with Thai basil which has a delicious aniseed flavour. This truly is one of my favourite meals, and I hope you enjoy it too.
Ingredients
- 1 small onion diced
- 1 heaped tsp. garlic paste
- 500g pork mince
- 5 Thai chillies sliced
- 2 tbsp. Oyster sauce
- 2 tbsp. Fish sauce
- 1 tbsp. dark soy
- 1 heaped tsp. sugar
- Handful fresh Thai basil
Method
Pre-heat a frying pan along with a splash of oil, cook the onion and garlic for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the Pork mince and Cook over a high heat for five minutes until Golden. Once cooked stir through the oyster sauce, fish sauce, soy and sugar then cook for a further minute. Finally stir through the chilli and Thai basil until wilted. Serve with the portion of rice.
