Kai Jeow Maa Pad Gapow Grob

ไข่เยี่ยวม้าผัดกะเพรากรอบ

 

Prepare:

4 preserved eggs (cut in four pieces)
1 cup basil
2 tbsp. minced garlic
3 tbsp. red and green chili pepper (minced)
1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup minced pork
2 tbsp. fish sauce
1/2 tsp. black and sweet soy sauce
1 tsp. sugar
2 tbsp. oyster sauce

 

 

Cooking instructions:

1. Heat the pan and add vegetable oil. When you prepare the chili pepper, it depends on how spicy you want your food to be. Crush the chili pepper finely of you really it strong and taste real good. If you can’t stand that much spiciness, I suggest that you should only cut the chili pepper into pieces and use just 1 or 2 pepper.

2. When the pan is hot, then you can fry the preserved eggs. About 1 minute, it will be crunchy enough. Rest it in the plate and paper towel to absorb the oil.

3. Next, fry the basil leaves until it is crunchy and rest it on the paper towel as well.

4. In a different pan, (or the same pan but remove the used oil), add 3 tbsp. vegetable oil. Use medium heat and wait until it’s hot.

5. Add minced garlic and minced chili peppers. Fry until it smells nice, or until you sneeze. icon smile Thai Food Recipe: Egg & Basil Stir Fry (Kai Jeow Maa Pad Gapow Grob)

This is Thai basil (Gapow in Thai)! We use this in curry, soup, stir-fry and many other dishes. One of our favorites at the house is “Gapow Moo” which is stir fried pork with onion, green beans, Thai basil and sometimes baby corn.

Our spices and herbs are always fresh. Sometimes we use dried chilis – but most of the time we use fresh everything. The markets here are full of every herb and vegetable that Thais’ use and we can find them all year. It’s really a healthy way of eating.. but, there are many pesticides on the vegetables – we must wash them very carefully… Too many pesticides all over the world I think… icon sad Thai Food Vegetables: Thai Basil icon smile Thai Food Vegetables: Thai Basil Joy
