Quick & Easy Thai Basil Chicken (Pad Kra Pao) Recipe🌶️

Big flavour, simple ingredients and ready in around 15-20 minutes. 😋

You’ll need:
🍗 500g chicken mince
🧄 3–4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
🌶️ 1–2 red chillies, sliced
🥄 1 tbsp oyster sauce
🥄 1 tbsp light soy sauce
🥄 1 tsp fish sauce
🥄 1 tsp sugar
🌿 A generous handful of Thai basil
🍳 1 tbsp cooking oil
🍚 Jasmine rice + fried egg, to serve

To make:
Fry the garlic and chilli until fragrant, then add the chicken and cook through. Add the sauces and sugar and stir-fry until everything is well coated. Turn off the heat and toss through the Thai basil until just wilted.

Serve over hot jasmine rice with a crispy fried egg. 🤤

🌱 Prefer it vegetarian?
Swap the chicken for firm tofu, mushrooms or plant-based mince. Replace the fish sauce with vegetarian fish sauce or extra soy sauce, and use a vegetarian oyster/mushroom sauce. Skip the egg for a fully plant-based version.
