The BEST Pad Krapao

Pad Kra Pao with Kai Dao (Holy Basil Stir Fry)🍃🌶🍳

The dish literally means stir fried holy basil. 🍃

You can make it in less than 30 minutes! ⏲

This dish is super delicious and packed with flavor. It is the best with a fried egg on top and served on a bed of hot jasmine rice. 🍚

The flavor profile is savory, salty, spicy, with subtle hints of sweetness and sweet spice from the holy basil.
