Ingredients
- 200 grams minced pork
- 1–2 heads of Thai garlic (adjust to taste)
- 9 red chilies
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 handful of basil leaves (adjust to your liking)
Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
- Pound the garlic and chilies together in a mortar and pestle until coarsely crushed.
Step 2: Stir-Fry the Aromatics
- Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add the pounded garlic and chilies. Stir-fry until fragrant but avoid overbrowning the garlic.
Step 3: Cook the Pork
- Add the minced pork to the pan and stir-fry, breaking it up into small pieces.
- Add 1 tablespoon of water to help cook the pork evenly.
Step 4: Season the Dish
- Add oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and dark soy sauce to the pan.
- Stir everything together until the pork is well-coated and the sauce is evenly distributed.
Step 5: Add the Basil
- Turn the heat to high, then add the basil leaves.
- Stir briefly until the basil wilts, then immediately turn off the heat to preserve the basil’s vibrant color.
Step 6: Serve
- Plate your Pad Kra Pao Moo Sab and serve it with steamed rice, a crispy fried egg (Khai Dao), and a side of chili fish sauce (Prik Nam Pla).
Tips for Success
- Use Thai garlic for a more aromatic dish. Slightly crush it without peeling completely for added flavor.
- For extra heat, add bird’s eye chilies and pound them thoroughly.
- Opt for small, tender basil leaves or red basil for a more fragrant dish.
- To keep basil aromatic, use it fresh and cook it right away.
- Adjust the consistency: add more water for a saucier dish or stir-fry longer for a dry version.
- Use minimal oil to avoid an overly greasy dish, as oyster sauce adds natural richness.
With these simple steps, you can create a classic Pad Ka Prao Moo Sab that’s full of bold Thai flavors and perfect for any meal. Enjoy the fragrant aroma and spicy kick of this iconic dish!
