Pad Kra Pao, or Thai Basil Stir-Fry, is a flavorful dish originating from Thailand, known for its spicy, aromatic combination of ingredients. Typically made with ground chicken, pork, or beef, it is stir-fried alongside garlic, chili, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and holy basil, a distinctive herb that gives the dish its signature taste. Served over steamed jasmine rice and often topped with a fried egg, Pad Kra Pao strikes a balance between protein, carbohydrates, and essential nutrients. The dish is rich in vitamins A and C from chilies and basil, promoting immune health. However, it can be high in sodium due to the sauces and moderately fatty depending on the choice of protein and addition of oil. Opting for lean meat, brown rice, or less sauce can make this dish a healthier choice while preserving its bold, satisfying flavors.
