กะเพราหมู
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.

Ka Prao Moo, or Stir-Fry Pork with Basil in English, is the most popular menu in Thailand. Not that it is the most delicious Thai food recipe, but it is the easiest and fastest food to get in busy restaurants at lunch time.

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.
