I used to serve this exact authentic Thai basil pork stir-fry at my restaurant. Now you can make pad kra pao at home in just 20 minutes using one pan!

Ingredients

2 tbsp oil
4 cloves garlic, peeled
4 chilies, adjust to taste
12 oz ground pork
½ tbsp fish sauce
2 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1½ tbsp white sugar
½ tbsp rosdee seasoning powder, see notes
a handful of holy basil
fried egg, optional

Instructions

In a small bowl, stir together fish sauce, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and rosdee seasoning powder. Set aside.

Crush garlic and chilies using a mortar and pestle.
Heat oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pounded chili-garlic paste and stir-fry for 20 seconds until fragrant.

Add ground pork and break it up using the back of your spatula. Stir-fry on medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes, or until fully cooked but not overcooked!
Add the sauce mixture and mix it well with the pork.

Turn off heat and add holy basil. Stir until just wilted.

Serve with jasmine rice and a crispy fried egg, if desired.
