About Thai basil pork

Thai Basil Pork, or Pad Kra Pao Moo, is a flavorful stir-fry dish originating from Thailand, celebrated for its fragrant and bold taste. This dish combines ground pork, garlic, chili peppers, and sweet Thai basil, stir-fried in a savory sauce made from soy, oyster sauce, and fish sauce. It’s typically served over jasmine rice and topped with a fried egg for a rich, satisfying meal. Packed with protein from the pork and egg, Thai Basil Pork offers a hearty source of energy. The aromatic basil provides vitamins and antioxidants, while the chili peppers add metabolism-boosting capsaicin. However, the dish can be high in sodium due to the sauces, and moderate in fats depending on preparation. Pairing it with a fresh vegetable side can enhance its nutritional balance, making it a flavorful choice for lovers of Thai cuisine.
