About Pad krapao

Pad Krapao, or Thai Basil Stir-Fry, is a popular dish from Thai cuisine known for its bold flavors and aromatic herbs. This savory meal typically features minced chicken, pork, or beef stir-fried with garlic, chili, soy sauce, fish sauce, and oyster sauce, along with fresh Thai holy basil leaves. Often served over steamed jasmine rice and topped with a fried egg, Pad Krapao is a flavorful combination of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats. The holy basil provides antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, while the lean protein offers essential nutrients for muscle health. However, the dish can be high in sodium due to the sauces, and the fried egg adds additional fat and calories. Opting for reduced-sodium sauces and using leaner cuts of meat can make Pad Krapao a healthier choice while preserving its signature taste. It’s a versatile dish beloved for its simplicity and robust flavor.
