Spelling of Thai words in English is ambiguous and there is little or no official standardization. Thai Holy Basil stir fry is commonly referred to as Pad Ka Prao, Pad Ka-Prao, Pad Kra Pao, Pad Kra Prao, Pad Ga Prao, Pad Ga-Prao, Pad Gaprao, Pad Krapow

As someone who really loved this dish in Thailand and lives in a country where authentic, non-westernized Thai food is very hard to come by, you have my thanks. Delicious, low effort and super easy to make!
Llynya90 Thank you very much 🙏 You pinpointed the exact reason why I started this channel. When I lived abroad I noticed the “westernization” of Thai food as well as pan-Asian versions with Vietnamese, Chinese or other influences which de facto rendered “Thai” food non-Thai or at the very least unauthentic. I want to remedy that so people can see how easy it is to make authentic Thai by only sticking to the right ingredients and my simple process. Have a spicy day 🌶
Same. I live in Atlanta, Georgia in the US. There are one or two places out of hundreds that serve actual Thai food.
@@yourfavameliaaa which ones have you found? Rain Thai and 26 Thai are so far my favorites
For everyone in the United States, please check out your local nursery. Most of them carry holy basil seeds for planting. I found seeds at my local pike nursery and was ecstatic! Start the The seeds inside and then transplant outside per the instructions. You can easily plant this in a pot if you don't have an outdoor garden. You'll have holy basil forever.
You can tell this is authentic, she didn't peel the garlic ❤️🇹🇭
Yonatan Miller you have a good eye. Thanks for watching 🙏
Absolutely correct sir
Thai garlic is different from the China garlic we get in the US. The skins are extremely thin most Thais DON"T peel it. Totally different skin that's not detectable after cooking.
@@cliffcox7643 That’s correct. Thanks for engaging in the comments
Thai garlic is very small and extremely fragrance
In my opinion, simply the best dish in the world :)
TheChipWelder yes, it never gets old. Thanks for watching 🙏
Disagree. Travel around the world and then you know it.

This unmistakable Thai classic desperately needs more exposure in the Western sphere like over here in Melbourne, Australia. You'd be amazed for all the wrong reasons at how few Thai restaurants would have this on the lunch menu 😢
Good job with your English accent. 😊

Hai good 👍
Thai sweet basil with this is delicious as well..
Pad Ka Prao actually means stir fried Holy Basil. Like you said, it also taste good with sweet basil but then you should call the dish Pad Horapa instead. Thanks for watching and commenting 😊🙏
@@WorldofThaiFood thank you!

looks amazing... ty for the post!
Thank you very much for watching and subscribing!
A lot of people seeing this probably can't find holy basil or thai basil for that matter. Regular old sweet basil works just fine. One of my all time favorite dishes.
W. Dearth Thank you for sharing your experience. It is definitely ok to adapt to what is available on the local market. I’ve made variations of this with other types of local basil while living in west Africa, Pakistan, Sweden, Nepal, US etc. and even though it turned out edible each time - I must emphasize that it is not technically Pad Ka Prao unless made with Ka Prao (Thai Holy Basil). The taste is very different - still yummy but not the same. Have a spicy 🌶 day and thanks for watching 🙏
Awesome!
Glad you like it - quick and easy recipe! Enjoy - Thank you for watching /Amy
This looks good!
I'm gonna try making it with chicken strips and no egg. I want a basic Thai basil chicken dish that's easy to cook quickly
Hi! This works well with chicken strips. You can omit the fried egg but I’d advise you to maintain the ingredients and amounts. Quick and delicious dish - Enjoy and have a spicy day 🙏
@@WorldofThaiFood I tried it last night. I think I put too much soy not enough fish sauce.
I also did extra chilli. It was pretty good! :D
Very nicely done

Awesome.. will definitely try 😍. Could you please show recipe for Thai yellow curry chicken fried rice. Please
hima bindu Hi and thank you very much for watching. I have made yellow curry pineapple fried rice with chicken and prawn so check it out. There’s another typical southern Thai dish with yellow rice served with chicken that I think you might be referring to - I’ll make sure to add it to our production schedule.
Gonna make this dish. I have a two boneless chicken thighs. And a lot of Holy Basil. It is hard to find, even in LA Thai Town, because people buy it as soon as they see it! I also have that sauce already made for Pad Kee Mao...so this should be easy!
When in big cities in the US and EU one has to know which day the Thai herbs are delivered to the store to stand a chance of picking some up 😆 Thanks for watching
Love that dish also pork
John Mastaglia Agreed. Thanks for watching 🙏
Damn, even I could make that, Thanks!
Rick Pamaran Yup. Stick to this recipe and you cannot go wrong. Thanks for watching 🙏
Where i live (Antwerp, Belgium) there are a lot of thai restaurants, but only 1-2 can make this dish like it should taste ! I'm trying to recreate this dish at home, but at this point, i didn't worked. This tutorial give' some new ingredients (like the seasoning soy sauce), so i will try again :-)
Bart De Pauw Follow my authentic family recipe and process closely and you will nail the taste! It is however important that you don’t change the amounts or substitute any of the ingredients. Please let me know how it came out!! Have a spicy day 🙏🌶
I love egg on top of rice...
Agreed - A fried egg on top of a plate of Pad Ka Prao Gai, along with some Prik Nam Pla must be the definition of Thai deliciousness
I was looking forward to making this, but I think it will be a hard search to find Ka Prao in Toronto stores...
I understand finding Ka Prao (Holy Basil) in some places can be challenging. Using general Thai Basil as a substitute is also acceptable. While it won't be precisely the same as Pad Ka Prao, it can still offer a delicious and inspired stir-fried taste. Cooking is all about experimenting and making dishes your own. Enjoy your culinary adventures, and Have a Spicy Day!
Pad Ka Prao Gai (and Kai Dow) 😜
Thank you for the nice video.
Please show the brands you use. Thank you. We can get any brand here, there's plenty of oriental supermarkets, so it's nice to know what to whop for. There's dozens of oyster sauces.
Hi! Certainly, I normally use Golden Mountain Seasoning soy sauce; Oyster Sauce is Mae Krua brand, and Fish sauce is Squid brand. Good luck and don’t forget to visit my website www.worldofthaifood.com for more information and recipes 🙏🏻 Thank you!
@@WorldofThaiFood Thank you so much for the reply ! I mean it , and yes I will visit your site.
@@Hulkeq2 you’re very welcome! Have a spicy day
Dear Amy, Sawadee ka. Can u do a video of making kanom guichai (e one wrapped in dumpling skin) I hv viewed many but they r in Thai and Thai language recipe. Thanking you in advance. Kapum kaa.
Sawadee Ka. Thank you for requesting a recipe. I will add it to my list of requests and try to included it in my 2019 production schedule.
Trust local when they teach u how to cook their own dishes.
That is in essence the idea of this channel. Authentic Thai cooking without compromises, substitutes or fuss - these recipes are identical to what we make in our home in Thailand. Thanks for the appreciation /Amy
yum!
Welcome to World of Thai Food and thanks for watching. Lots more yummy recipes on the way!
That's a mouthwatering dish Amy ! I'm going to prepare it. But can I use Indian Holy Basil (Tulsi) ? Thanks in advance !
Ramashish Khare hi! We have made this dish with basil varieties from Pakistan and Afghanistan with very good results - even though not identical to Thai Basil, the end result is surprisingly similar. I haven’t tried Indian Tulsi but I can’t imagine it’s vastly different from what we’ve used in the past so go ahead. Let me know how it comes out! Thanks for watching. Namaste
@@WorldofThaiFood Definitely I'll reach out again with results. Namaste! 🙏🏻
@@ramashishkhare3180 hi ramashish... Did you try the recipe with the Tulsi? How was it?
Yum! Can you please give me the names of the brand for the sauces. I feel like buying the right one makes a lot of difference. Thank you for the amazing recipes!
Thank you for watching my videos! I have now added links to the three brands of sauces that I use in this video. Just click "show more" in the video description section and you'll find my Amazon affiliate links. By buying from Amazon you also support my channel with a few cents. Thank you! Amy
She's Beautiful 😍
My wife loves that dish and I have been trying to do this. The previous recipes which I have found have a bit of a different ratio (1tbsp oyster souce, 1tbsp soy, 2tbsp water, 2tsp fish sauce, 1.5tsp dark soy and 1.5 tsp sugar) - I always found it very salty and am wondering if your ratio will actually change that for me - will definitely give it a try!
Your previous recipe does seem salty. I’m sure you will find this recipe to be much more balanced. Please let me know what you think after you’ve tried it. Have a spicy day 🌶️
@@WorldofThaiFoodtook me ages to try this recipe (mostly because it is hard to get thai basil where i live) but i just made it today for the dinner. Swapped chicken for prawns and i can say, this recipe is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Finally not a salty mess. Thank you
Yum! 😋👍
Glad you enjoyed the video! 🙏 Thanks for watching
@@WorldofThaiFood Made it for dinner last night. Unfortunately only had Thai basil instead of holy basil. Will totally make it again with holy basil next time.
🙏
That's a fresh egg right there!
Brian Berrios Well spotted. Got it from my uncles chicken farm next door. Thanks for watching 🙏
@@WorldofThaiFood just built a fortress for my future hens. Can't wait to taste a fresh egg again!
Brian Berrios sounds like a great idea. Nothing beats fresh produce - particularly when you can control living environment, fodder and quality of life for the animals yourself
@@WorldofThaiFood Yes! Thank you for sharing your recipes!
Brian Berrios Thank YOU for watching
I call this thai breakfast!
Exactly Khun Lisa! The beauty of Thai food culture is that you can eat what you want, whenever you feel like it. We usually make this for lunch or supper and then we enjoy the leftovers the next morning with a freshly fried egg /Amy
This looks amazing. Is the holy basil used here and the Tulsi used for worship the same?
Ankit Shakya I believe it is the same plant. Thank you for watching 🙏 Namaste
@@WorldofThaiFood thank you for the quick reply! Will be making this dish really soon. 🙏
I’m allergic to seafood and shellfish whats a good sub for the fish sauces or is their none? Looks so good
Fish- and oyster sauce are important to get the authentic taste. However, the oyster sauce can be substituted by “Mushroom vegetarian sauce (for stir-fry)” by Healthy Boy Brand which is commonly available internationally. The fish sauce is more difficult to replace. You can adjust using the seasoning soy sauce instead.
Sorry to hear about your allergies but I’m sure you’ll enjoy this alternative version just as much. Let me know how it turned out 🙏
Love your Thai cooking channel! I just recently found it and subscribed. I only have electric stove for cooking and want very much to do wok cooking style. Could you please tell me what your cooking on? Thank you so much!
Batcat Kitty Thank you very much for your kind words and for watching my channel. More videos on the way soon. About the stove. You’re right that an electrical stove isn’t ideal for some stir fries. The one I use in this video broke down so I got another. Can’t recall the brand I’m afraid. You can get anything basic off of Amazon I have attached a link as an example. I don’t endorse that product nor have I tried it but it gives you an idea of what you ideally need for good heat and results www.amazon.com/Portable-Pressure-Propane-Cooking-Camping/dp/B002PJJ0MI/ref=mp_s_a_1_26?dchild=1&keywords=wok+gas+burner&psc=1&qid=1571962374&sr=8-26#aw-udpv3-customer-reviews_feature_div

luckybluebird77 wonderful! Glad you enjoyed my recipe video. Thanks for watching 🙏 Have a spicy 🌶 day
Is the Thai holy basil different from holy basil (Tulsi)?
Is it possible to use regular soy sauce instead of seasoning soy sauce? What's the difference in taste?
lightspeed Try to find and use Seasoning Soy Sauce. You can order it on Amazon (Golden mountain). Seasoning sauce is made from soy bean sauce, salt, sugar, water and food enhancers(not MSG). It can be used in any dish for adding flavor.
👍👏
Glad you enjoyed my video. Please consider sharing and subscribing 🙏 Thank you

Thai Basil chicken is it curry or normal dish?
Googled chugar to figure out what thai spice that was. Finally figured out it's sugar. :)
RawhideProductions1 😆😂 Thanks for watching
The color of that egg yolk at the end makes you realize how terrible quality 97% of store bought eggs are.
Yup good observation. These eggs are from our own free range chickens
Is holy basil comes with purple stems or hairy green stems?
Hi. You can actually find both types 🙏 Some are purple, others green - both have trichomes/hair
How will it taste without the basil.? It is almost impossible to get in my place
Chris Pacman well.. it would not taste like pad ka prao since it’s the basil that gives the unique character of this dish. I know some people that have made a version of this dish with basil they found in the supermarket. It can be done but the flavor will be somewhat different from the Thai original recipe.
For seasoning sauce do you use Golden Mountain?
Yes! That is my preferred seasoning sauce
Mary G Crafts yes golden mountain
Very nice I tried it in london.. How to make red curry with chicken ?
Sumit Thanks for stopping by. Have a spicy day
can you please teach us to make the snack : kra ya sart :)
We normally make it for the festival of the tenth lunar month. My grandmother was very good at it, unfortunately I haven’t got the good recipe from her. I will speak to my relatives and try to re-create it so that I may share with you guys later.
Thank you for your request
@@WorldofThaiFood Thanks very much ! - Your channel is the best ! - You are also very pretty ! - lol (joking) - Have a nice week ! Take care ! :)
@@yakidin6330 Thank you 🙏
I made this with 3 birdseye chilis, and my face almost melted off.
Rick It does say “authentic” recipe in the description 😆🔥 Always go easy on the chili’s if it’s the first time you use that specific type/batch. Everyone has a different sensitivity to 🌶 . Thank you for watching and using my recipe 🙏
@@WorldofThaiFood Oh, sorry I'm not criticizing....Love your videos. I'm just letting people know the same thing you're saying -- take it easy the first time unless you have a fireproof mouth. I've made the dish a bunch of times, and even grow my own Ka Prao basil. Usually I remove the seeds and pith from the chilis and use 5 or 6, but this time I was lazy and just blitzed 3 whole ones with the garlic in a spice grinder, and the result was pretty "awakening". I think pounding them the way you did is better because you can then avoid the bigger chunks if the overall dish is too spicy. I also thought about trying it with some milder peppers (prik chee fah if I can get them, or red Serrano if I can't) so I can use more and save the trouble of seeding them.
Rick no worries! Did not interpret your comment as critical. You made a good point and I wanted to further emphasize it. Happy to hear about your commitment - even growing your own Thai ingredients. Impressive! Have a spicy day 🌶
Can i use sweet basil instead of holy basil?? 🤔
Hi. I’d say no but it’s up to you to try. In Thailand we would never use sweet Basil. Pad Ka Prao literally means stir fried holy Basil. The Sweet Basil (Horapa in Thai) has a different flavor profile. I know that it’s sometimes difficult to find Holy basil. Make it with sweet Basil but then call it Pad Horapa instead 😀
I’m going to try this with hoisin because I bought that by accident instead of oyster sauce! Also my chilies are wildly hot so I’m leaving them whole no seeds. I’m still worried. Last time was super hot 🥵
Enjoy cooking 🙏
Sadly I hve to use sweet Thai basi, as it is almost impossible to find holy basil around here. Even to grow it’s hard to find plants and seeds!
I've made this with different types of Basil in places like Sweden, Nepal, Pakistan, Afghanistan and West Africa and somehow it still always comes out nice. I provide the authentic recipe as a guide but there is nothing wrong with experimenting. Go for it!
