Pad Kra Pao

How to Make

1. 1

   Start with the wok sauce: Mix oyster sauce, fish sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, brown sugar and 1/2 dl chicken broth (1/2 dl water mixed with either 1/2 chicken bouillon cube or 1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder) in a bowl and set aside .

2. 2

   Put the garlic and chilli in a mortar and pestle and mash it into a paste. (Or finely chop it with a knife). Cut the red onion into slices, cut the green beans into smaller pieces and pick the leaves of the holy basil until you have a good handful.

3. 3

   Fry the chilli and garlic paste in a little oil for 1-2 minutes and add the minced meat. Fry for 3-4 minutes until the meat is well browned, and add the green beans, onion and woksauce. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes and stir in holy basil just before serving!

4. 4

   Serve hot over rice and top with a fried egg and some more chopped chilli if you want that extra kick!
