Ka Prao Moo
(Stir-Fry Pork with Basil)
Prepare:
1/2 cup sliced pork (or chicken)
1/2 onion (sliced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
3 red chili peppers (chopped)
1/4 cup basil
2 tbsp. sliced sweet green pepper
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tbsp. fish sauce
1 tbsp. oyster sauce
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1/2 tsp. sugar
Cooking Instructions:
1. Put olive oil in the pan and wait until it’s hot.
2. Fry garlic and chili pepper. When it smells add pork.
I would say “add the pork after you sneeze one time”. 
Remember to slice the pork thinly but big piece. That way it takes a short time to be cooked.
3. Add fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, onion, sweet green pepper and basil. Mix well.
4. Serve with hot jasmine rice and fried egg.

This recipe can be applied with chicken. When you use chicken instead of pork, it will be called “Ka Prao Gai”. (Gai=chicken) We usually order this kind of Thai food with fried egg. So, the whole name will be “Ka Prao Gai Kai Dao”, which is the food that Thai people order as a default.

Thanks Joy. This is one of my favorite dishes when I go out to eat Thai. I made this last night with some fried tofu from our local Asian market, and it blew my mind! As good as any I’ve had at a restaurant, and so easy to make. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
You’re welcome! This is one of our favorites too.
Thanks so much for the recipe. I liked the spice level, but found it extremely salty, even though I added extra vegetables. If you are sensitive to salt, consider cutting all the sauces by a third to make it palatable.
