Pad Kra Pow with Rice is a popular Thai dish known for its flavorful and aromatic profile. Originating from Thailand, it typically features minced chicken, pork, or beef stir-fried with garlic, chili, and Thai holy basil. The savory sauce is a mix of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and fish sauce, providing a balance between salty and slightly sweet. Served with steamed jasmine rice and often topped with a crispy fried egg, it’s a meal that’s both satisfying and bold in taste. Pad Kra Pow is rich in protein, thanks to the meat and egg, and holy basil contributes antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the dish can be high in sodium due to the sauces, and the fried egg adds extra cholesterol. For a healthier version, lean protein and reduced-sodium sauces can be used. Despite these considerations, it remains a deeply beloved staple of Thai street food cuisine.
