August Recipe #2: Pad Kra Pao 🍳🌿🍚 (Patreon)

⭐ Ingredients
2 tbsp pad kra pao chili paste (or garlic and red Thai chilis minced)
300g minced ground pork
1 tsp dark soy sauce
2 tsp oyster sauce
2 tsp fish sauce
1 tsp sugar
MSG
Holy basil (or Thai basil)
1 egg

• On medium high heat, oil the pan and lightly fry the chili paste (or garlic-red chili mince).

• Once fragrant, add in pork, and using a spatula, break up the meat as it cooks to prevent clumping.

• Continue to let it cook until most of the rendered juice has evaporated.

• Add in seasonings, not including the basil.

• Continue stir frying, mix well, and adjust seasoning to taste.

• Stir in holy basil and mix until fragrant and lightly wilted, about 2 min.

• Plate and set aside.

• Lightly clean the same pan, and add in frying oil (about 3 tbsp).

• Once oil is glistening, rippling slightly, and slightly smoking, crack egg into oil and shallow fry.

• Using a spoon, baste the egg whites with the oil, avoiding the yolk.

• Once edges look golden and lacey, while maintaining raw yolk, remove egg and place on top of pork.

• Serve hot with jasmine rice!
