You know sometimes when you go to a restaurant and you have no idea what to order, or even what you want to eat? When that happens in Thailand, Pad Kra Pao, a stir fried dish of minced pork with Thai holy basil, is a dish that comes to the rescue! This popular Thai dish has many English names: Pad Kra Pao, Pad Ka Prao, Pad Ka Pow, Pad Krapow and so on. But it doesn't matter what name it goes by, because it all points to the same delicious, rustic, spicy stir-fry featuring the aroma of holy basil. For a truly classic way to serve this dish, pour it over rice and top it with a fried egg!

A perfect stir fry all ready to be dished up!

One half, rice. One half, Pad Kra Pao. One whole, happy me!

Topped with a sunny side up egg.
