A quick and flavorful Thai stir-fry featuring spicy ground chicken and aromatic holy basil. This Pad Krapow recipe brings authentic Thai street food to your table.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-3 Thai chilies, thinly sliced (adjust to your spice preference)
  • 8 ounces ground chicken
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 cup holy basil leaves
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice, for serving
  • 1 fried egg, for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add minced garlic and sliced chilies. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add ground chicken to the wok. Break it up with a spoon and stir-fry until browned and cooked through.
  4. Stir in soy sauce, fish sauce, and sugar. Mix well.
  5. Add holy basil leaves and stir-fry for another 30 seconds until the basil wilts.
  6. Serve immediately over cooked jasmine rice. Top with a fried egg if desired.

Notes

  • Holy basil has a distinct peppery and slightly anise-like flavor. If you can’t find it, Thai basil can be used as a substitute, though the flavor will be different.
  • Adjust the number of chilies to control the heat level. For a milder dish, remove the seeds before slicing.
  • Ensure your wok is hot before adding ingredients for a proper stir-fry.
