About Gapao rice

Gapao Rice, a classic dish from Thai cuisine, is a flavorful combination of stir-fried minced meat (usually chicken or pork), Thai basil, garlic, and chili, served over steamed jasmine rice and often topped with a fried egg. The dish is seasoned with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and fish sauce, creating a bold, savory taste with a hint of spice. Rich in protein and fresh herbs, Gapao Rice provides essential nutrients like vitamin A, vitamin C, and iron from the Thai basil and chili peppers. While the lean meat and basil offer health benefits, the dish can be high in sodium due to the sauces used. Opting for reduced-sodium sauces and balanced portions can make it a healthier choice. Popular for its aromatic flavor and vibrant presentation, Gapao Rice is beloved for its simplicity and adaptable preparation, making it a staple in Thai street food culture.
