Ingredients
- 500 grams ground chicken or pork
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 4 garlic cloves
- 3 bird's eye chili
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon erythritol (or any keto-friendly sweetener)
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 cup fresh Thai basil leaves
- 1 sliced bell pepper (optional for extra flavor)
- 1 lime (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the garlic and chili. Peel the garlic cloves and crush them using a mortar and pestle with the bird's eye chilies to create a rough paste. Adjust the amount of chili according to your spiciness preference.
Step 2
Heat a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat and add the coconut oil.
Step 3
Once the oil is hot, add the chili and garlic paste to the pan. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the ground chicken or pork to the pan, breaking it apart with a spatula or spoon. Cook until the meat is no longer pink, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 5
Mix in the oyster sauce, fish sauce, soy sauce, erythritol, and water. Stir well to combine and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 6
If using bell pepper, add it to the pan and stir-fry for an additional minute until slightly tender.
Step 7
Turn off the heat and immediately stir in the fresh Thai basil leaves, allowing them to wilt from the residual heat.
Step 8
Serve the Keto Phad Ka Prao hot, optionally with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top, enhancing the dish with a fresh citrusy tang.
