About Pad kra pao

Pad Kra Pao, also known as Thai basil stir-fry, is a flavorful dish originating from Thailand. It typically features ground meat such as chicken, pork, or beef, stir-fried with garlic, chili, and holy basil. Soy sauce, oyster sauce, and fish sauce are used to create its signature savory and slightly spicy taste. Often paired with steamed rice and topped with a fried egg, Pad Kra Pao is a well-balanced meal that combines protein, carbs, and essential nutrients from fresh herbs and spices. Holy basil adds antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, while chilies provide a boost of vitamin C. However, the dish can be high in sodium due to the sauces, and the fried egg adds extra calories and fat. Opting for lean meats and reducing sauce quantities can make it a healthier choice, while still retaining its authentic, bold flavors.
