Introduction
An authentic Thai recipe for Pad Krapao Moo Sap featuring flavorful minced pork stir-fried with an aromatic chili-garlic paste, seasoned with traditional sauces, and loaded with fresh holy basil. Served alongside steamed rice and a crispy Thai-style fried egg.
Step 1
Pound the red chilies and garlic cloves in a mortar and pestle until they form a coarse paste.
Step 2
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a wok until extremely hot. Crack the egg in and fry until the edges are crispy and bubbly to make a Thai-style fried egg (Kai Dao). Remove and set aside.
Step 3
Add the prepared chili-garlic paste into the hot wok with the remaining oil and stir-fry until highly fragrant.
Step 4
Add the minced pork to the wok, stir-frying and breaking it up to thoroughly mix it with the chili-garlic paste.
Step 5
Stir in the palm sugar and cook until the pork is nearly done. If the mixture is too dry, add a small splash of water.

Important Notes
Do not use onions, bell peppers, or other vegetables; authentic Pad Krapao relies entirely on chili, garlic, and holy basil.
Ensure you use authentic Holy Basil (Kra Pao) rather than sweet or Italian basil for the distinct spicy, peppery flavor profile.
Do not skimp on the basil leaves, as they shrink significantly when cooked and provide the primary aroma of the dish.
For a true Thai-style fried egg (Kai Dao), use plenty of oil and ensure the wok is smoking hot before adding the egg.
