Thai basil chicken recipe (pad kra pao gai ผัดกระเพราไก่) - Thai Recipes

[@tonydebua]

I'm Thai. I confirm that Mark's dish is Thai style. (although Thai kaprao receipe use fish sauce not soy sauce, but his cooking is Thai skill)

[@MarkWiens]

Kop kun krap!!

[@chuckheng48]

BTW got to have fish sauce as well in Thai dishes apparently he didn't use.

Thanks came from Thailand n was already missing lovely food.

Hello, many recipes use fish sauce. What is the correct way to cook this dish?

Thank you very much Sarah, really appreciate your kind comment.

Can I use any kind of hot chili? I don't think I can find that kind of chili here in the Philippines.

I’m pretty sure you can find the hot pepper’s first before you find Thai basil

FYI. This dish is a REAL main dish in Thailand.not "Tom yum kung" nor "Pad thai". Pad kra pao = Burger for us.

[@margarettodhunter179]

I used to live in Thailand... for nearly 30 yrs. actually, and I love Thai food. I think Thai food is probably the most savory and fragrant food in the world and I miss it so much. I love watching your show.... makes my mouth water just watching you cook all those delicious dishes. Thanks for doing these shows and giving instructions on how to cook them. I've already cooked several of them, and it turned out awesome.

[@rickiex]

Thai food is just hands down thee best. There's is no other food on this planet that can make me salivate by just watching a video. Everything else taste like cardboard now, I need spicy and savory foods only.

[@gabboet]

Hi Mark. I was just browsing through KZbin channels about food. I have to say that I really loved the very authentic approach to sharing your love for good grub. I have already tried some of the recipes (ผัดกระเพราไก่ being a personal favourite) and the fact that you use the ingredients and utensils you'd find in a real Thai kitchen makes it easy for a Bangkok-based farang like me to go look for the ingredients and reproduce the wonderful dishes. I really like how you don't try to embellish the setting, but focus on the important thing... Cheers!

[@lotzamra7872]

I cooked this yesterday (first Thai dish I ever cooked in my lifetime) and it's absolutely delicious! Thank you for this recipe. ❤️ Definitely, I'll be cooking more Thai food now. 😊❤️ Missing Thailand..I hope I can travel back there when the pandemic is over.

ผัดกะเพราของไทยดูเหมือนง่ายๆ แต่จริงๆแล้วมีขั้นตอนวิธีการแตกต่างมากมาย กินข้างถนนรสชาดอย่างหนึ่งกินในโรงแรมอีกอย่างหนึ่ง บางคนผัดออกมาดูสวยเงางาม บางคนผัดออกมาดูแห้งเหี่ยว บางคนทอดใบกะเพราก่อนกรอบๆดี บางคนใส่ใบกะเพราตอนเสร็จแล้วกลิ่นหอมสดๆ บางคนใส่พริกไทยเม็ดลงไปตอนตำพริก บางคนตอนผัดจะเอาน้ำลงไปล้างครกที่เหลือพริกติดอยู่แล้วเอาใส่ในผัดกะเพรา แต่จะให้ดีควรเลือกกินผัดกะเพราะในร้านที่ขายก๋วยเตี๋ยวด้วยเพราะเวลาผัดเขาจะเติมน้ำซุปก๋วยเตี๋ยวลงไปหน่อยได้รสชาดอร่อยดีมากๆ แต่บางคนจะทำน้ำซุปหรือน้ำสต็อกมาไว้ใส่โดยเฉพาะ แต่ไม่แนะนำบางร้านที่เอาน้ำเปล่าใสลงไปเพราะทำให้เสียรสชาด บางคนก็ใส่ซีอิ้วดำหรือขาว บางคนก็ใส่น้ำมันหอย เนื้อหมูย่างในร้านที่ขายลาบน้ำตกอาหารอีสาน ให้ลองเอามาผัดกะเพราดูจะรู้ว่าอร่อยมากจริง แต่ผัดแบบแห้งๆนะ

Thanks for sharing. I planted some basil at backyard and don’t know how to cook it. Now I know it after watching your video. Thx

[@hannahg5479]

I was making this recipe tonight, and I thought I would revisit this video to say this: I have been making this dish on the regular since I first saw this video 6 years ago. So simple and perfect. Honestly, thank you for making thai food a regular in my life. One of my favorite dishes-- I highly recommend.

[@zildog]

The ingredients are easy to understand but the portions are misleading. He doesn’t specify whether you use breast or thigh - in my experience thigh is juicer. He doesn’t explain the variances which can contain minced pork or beef. Any of these three proteins will work. He also crammed one hell of a lot of garlic and chili in there for one serving - depending on the size of your cloves and whether or not you’re using Thai garlic which has cloves that are a LOT smaller than regular western sizes, adjust to suit. Further, deglazing the pan by adding a splash of water is necessary to get that charred flavor from the sides of the wok. Prioritize sweet over savory as the peppery properties of Holy Basil will overwhelm the dish if you’re not careful. I’ve made this thousands of times and while this is a true to form street style recipe, that takes only a few minutes to actually cook, you need to be careful how much of each ingredient you’re using. Happy cooking, KZbinrs. 👍🏻

[@TheNishwa]

I saw you using Chinese garlic (garlic that grown in China and imported here in Thailand) which is larger in shape but weaker taste and less fragrant and less spicy than Thai garlic. I reccomend using Thai garlic instead because it's more authentic and taste and smell even better and it's available almost every Thai fresh market , weakend, modern super market and it's cheaper thatn Chinese garlic.

[@yvonnejensen1969]

Thank you. I made your recipe and it was amazing. Your smile with a mouth full of food was very convincing.

[@thaitvfan5605]

Pour the golden mountain sauce down instead of the black soy sauce its more delicious.

Thanks for the quick and easy recipe. I tried it out today and it was great! I was about to skip out on the egg, but I'm so glad I didn't. Pairs so nicely! I put too little basil though ^.^; Also, you look like Christian Camargo in the show Dexter.

[@cathireeya]

I enjoy your demo of an easy quick recipe more because it's easy enough for my husband to make them for me...lol. I love gapaow chicken with fried eggs.

[@jamiejones158]

I've just come back from Thailand. This was one of my favourite dishes that I tried there. I had it at least 3 times in two weeks. At chatuchak, at amusarn market in Chaing Mai and again in Bangkok on Soi 2, Samsen.

[@raymondquadros7142]

Nice video, no un-wanted BS talk, and very well made to the point.

[@Mikenopolis]

you sir have just earned a new subscriber. I had extra basil left over and was wondering what to make with it. BOOM! guess what's for dinner?

[@thekiddocook1554]

I like adding my seasoning as fish sauce, oyster sauce, MSG, rosdee pork seasoning. This is the same way they do in the” ร้านตามสั่ง” restaurants. But this seasoning is only good for the ground pork version and the chilli and garlic also i have my own blend of it, i add normal chinese garlic then i add unpeeled thai garlic then the couple of red and green birdseye (the one u see mark use) then atlast i add this small chili’s called “ พริกขี้หนูสวน “ and pound it in pestle and mortar. i have no idea what its called in english but the literaly translation of that chili would be garden chili. Again this works only for pork. This whole thing that i told u would only taste good with ground pork shoulder krapow. Iam from thailand and this is my take on it and its more of a restaurant version and rlly unhealthy but if thats not a problem to u then u should rlly try it. Edit: serve the deep fried egg with “พริกน้ำปลา” in english it would be phrik nampla which is just some chopped red birdseye chili, chopped garlic, fish sauce and some lime juice mixed together and i like adding some chopped cilantro to it too but its not traditional so dont add it if u dont want to. The phrik nampla should be rlly spicy and do not water down the fish sauce when making this as all the flavor would be ruined.

Is Holy Basil different from Thai basil? Can i substitute it?

[@AugustusMcCrae_LD]

Traditional Gra Pao calls for Holy Basil, but it's really hard to find. However Thai Basil works very well, and is what we use when we make this dish

[@alicelayola5630]

Thai basil makes a good sub but it isn't the same. Holy basil has a lovely flavor but the leaves wild fast which is probably why u can't buy it at a normal super market. I encourage u to grow some yourself if you can. It's a must try!.

[@applehair995]

That looks so good! Do you have to use both the dark and the light soy sauce? Does it make that much of a difference in flavor if you don't?

Maybe a little fish sauce for saltiness in that case?
