About Pad ka prao

Pad Ka Prao, a signature dish in Thai cuisine, is a stir-fry featuring minced meat (commonly chicken, pork, or beef) cooked with garlic, chili, and Thai holy basil. Traditionally served over rice, it’s often accompanied by a fried egg for added texture and flavor. While brimming with bold, aromatic spices, the dish can be high in sodium due to soy sauce and oyster sauce used for seasoning. However, Pad Ka Prao offers a good source of protein from the meat and nutrients like vitamins A and C from the fresh chili and basil. For a healthier variation, lean meats or plant-based options can be used, with reduced amounts of oil and sauce. Balanced with steamed rice, this dish reflects Thailand's vibrant flavors while offering a mix of nutrients and indulgence.
