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

Get all the details for this Thai basil chicken recipe (pad kra pao gai ผัดกระเพราไก่) right here: wp.me/p4a4F7-24u
Alright everyone, I've been receiving some requests to post some Thai recipes, so this is my first attempt at filming and publishing a Thai street food recipe known as pad kra pao gai (ผัดกระเพราไก่), and I'm excited. When I first moved to Thailand, most of what I did was only eat, and discover all the amazing food there way. I lived in a small studio apartment without a kitchen, so I wasn't able to do much cooking or sample the many Thai recipes I had wanted to try out. But after getting married and moving into a house, we now have a kitchen, and while normally my wife and her mother do the cooking (which is outstanding by the way), I have had a chance to make some Thai street food recipes as well.
For this Thai basil chicken recipe (pad kra pao gai ผัดกระเพราไก่) here are the ingredients you'll need, but really, you should click here wp.me/p4a4F7-24u to see all the ingredients and directions on my website.
1 egg
2 tablespoons of oil for frying
1 chicken breast (or any other cut of boneless chicken, about 200 grams)
5 cloves of garlic
4 Thai chilies
1 tablespoon oil for frying
1 teaspoon of oyster sauce
½ teaspoon light soy sauce
½ teaspoon sugar
1 splash of dark soy sauce
1 handful of Thai holy basil leaves
1 plate of hot freshly steamed Thai jasmine rice - I also really like brown rice.
Now, the ingredients listed here for the Thai basil chicken recipe (pad kra pao gai ผัดกระเพราไก่) are what I used. But that being said, Thai food is very much a taste based cuisine, meaning that you really need to taste test your cooking. Don't just assume all these measurements are correct for your taste buds - and sometimes the seasonings we use can differ a bit. So use these ingredients and cooking directions as a guide instead of as exact measurements.
Hope you enjoyed this Thai basil chicken recipe. I will be publishing a few more like this video in this series.

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?

I didn't expect that but all the ingredients, brand of sauces and the way to cook it's exactly what I do for this dish. I'm Thai I guarantee this is original recipe!

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

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.

[@wisewillow5731]

Agree, it’s the best cuisine :). Lovely people too ❤

[@zackdunn5315]

I've been coming back to this recipe for YEARS. I'm 21 and this is one of the first Asain style dishes I learned to make and I've been making it ever since. Its evolved a bit considering how long it's been, but it's a classic for me. Thanks Mark!

My husband is Chindian, grew up in KL with many Thai friends, and ate a lot of Thai food. This is one of his fav street dishes. Followed your instructions and made a husband-approved pad kra pao gai with egg yesterday!! Thank you!! :)

This is my favorite dish in the whole world...

[@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.

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!

[@jamespestell6136]

I rustled this up in the week for the first time and I’m now cooking this again right now. Sooooooo goooooood.

[@withrosesinhair123]

I use this recipe regularly, thankfully we grow holy basil in our backyard. Definitely a favorite! Delicious every time.

[@paulmcallister1632]

Wonderful and tasty recipe! I cannot find holy basil where I live so I ordered from Amazon Dried Holy Basil and I steeped a nice handful in a few cooked down fresh tomatoes first then added to the chicken, garlic & peppers, I did add a nice splash of fish sauce in the end..I love that flavor, I can't help it! :) So good, I could eat it every day! Thank you, I love your videos!

I'm going to try a variation on that theme. I'm in weight loss mode so I'm going to try to cut back on the oil and use a spray oil. I can get fresh basil but I never knew how to use it until I saw this. Thanks for the vid Mark !!
