About Pad ka pao
Pad Ka Pao is a popular Thai street food stir-fry made with minced meat, usually chicken, pork, or beef, flavored with garlic, chili, soy sauce, and oyster sauce, and stir-fried alongside fresh Thai holy basil leaves. Served over steamed jasmine rice and often topped with a fried egg, this dish balances spicy, savory, and aromatic flavors that are central to Thai cuisine. Nutritionally, it offers a good mix of protein from the meat and egg, while the holy basil provides antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. However, its sodium content can be high due to the sauces, and the inclusion of fried egg and oil adds calories and fat. Pairing it with steamed vegetables can increase its overall nutritional benefits. As a vibrant, hearty meal, Pad Ka Pao is a satisfying dish that showcases the bold flavors of Thailand, but moderation is key for those monitoring sodium and calorie intake.
