WOW! I thought this was more complicated and way too many ingredients involved. But this is so easy! Love it! Thankfully I have Asian Grocers that carry the Gaprow Basil.
I had participated in this Internship Program in Israel way back in 2010 and got to know and made frieds with the Thai residents/workers there. Man, I still remember the time when they invited me to eat with them one time and Pad Gaprao was one of the dishes that won me that time. Spicy, slight herbal flavor from the Holy basil and a wee bit of sweetness from the oyster sauce and sugar. So good!
Such a delicious meal. I just MOVED to Thailand today (wife had already move here, it's my 4th time in the country now), and it was my first dish coming back! LOVE it... I've been a chef since I was 18 (20 years ago that is!) and as a westerner... I don't feel like I can compete with thai food - it's above everything, the combination of savoury, sweet, spicy, umami - its ALL of the things we love. Marion, can I be your intern?
Made this with ground turkey to be healthier and it was delicious! Always been skeptical of this seemingly simple dish until I made it. This one is for the books 👍
Wow! I grew this Basil without even knowing it!!! You can get it in Rockford, Illinois in the early summer at a place called Village Green! I also enjoy growing the purple Basil as well. Basil is just fun to grow! 🙂🙂🙂
I had the absolute best Pad Grapow outside of Thailand in a Berlin Thai Restaurant 2 days ago and had been thinking nonstop about if I would ever be able to recreate this - and here you come with a recipe. Serendipity ❤
Absolutely my fav Thai dish !! There is a great little Thai place in Brisbane CBD and if would have this for lunch easy twice a week ! Oh and they love their chilli - it’s on open kitchen and the whole place knows when this dish is being made 🤣🤣 But now I’m so glad that you have shared this recipe .. I’ll be making this a lot
Carolina reaper ooh my son would like that!! But I’ll stick to the normal ❤❤❤. So easy to grow holy basil here in New Zealand.. you can buy them in Avondale market in Auckland fyi
My wife ( Thai) who loves spicy food had her first taste of serious heat tonight after I put ghost peppers in her thai food. Let's just say she thinks I'm nuts and was probably born in the wrong country (USA). She was on fire for an hour or so. I was cracking up. She calls her mom and sister in Hua Hin, tells them what happens, and they're laughing because this American guy can take the heat better than his Thai wife. Priceless.
And after making this dish multiple times and enjoying this delly dish in Thailand, let the Thai Sweet basil be the sweetness of this dish, .. If you want to add the sugar, go for it, but .... just let the basil excite the flavours. (Marion, love your channel, Much respect) :)
Having spent years in Thailand I had many favorite dishes; first phad Thai, then yum som oo, then som tom… but eventually I realised it’s pad kapow moo FULL STOP.
I’ve been making this for years, but I was taught with chicken. I think because chicken was cheaper then pork or beef. I minced the meat myself in my food processor.
I know it's not the done thing in Thai dishes, but I've tried cooking the mince through to properly browned and thought it was better than the "just cooked through" that is typical for these.
Holy basil grows so well in FNQ I had friends who have hooked up with some expats originally from Bangkok. It’s wild how different holy basil is even compared to “holy basil” which is usually a hybrid of some kind when found in Australia
Interesting, I found & was growing Holy Basil in Qld & we all didn’t think much of the flavour. I guess I wasn’t growing the right one! We Love Thai Basil so was wondering why the Holy Basil sucked so much 🤣 (It did look the same as the HB shown)
Selain di thailand, nasi goreng juga ada di indonesia, malaysia. Kita satu rumpun di asia tenggara. Kalau di Indonesia nasi gorengnya ditambah ayam dipotong kecil2. Hmm yummy
No soy? I'm so confused by the many recipes for this dish lol. but I will try your version without the soy this weekend. I have no joy finding Thai basil in my bit of the UK. update: So, I've made this now - but no holy basil. Interesting. I liked the heat, and the sauce without soy was interesting. Not bad, but I guess this must be a traditional recipe. For a western, perhaps sophisticated palate, this dish is somewhat too salty. I'm not someone who salts before tasting, but that does not mean I don't like salt. This is pretty salty. I say traditional recipe, as often in European peasant dishes, and similar levels of other cultures, salt and spice are used to disguise poor, or just going rotten, cuts of meat. I was fascinated by not using soy, as every other recipe uses soy (sometimes dark, sometimes not) e.g. 1 tbs oyster, 1 tbs soy, 1 teaspoon dark soy, and many have 1tbs fish sauce, but I find perhaps half a tablespoon to three quarters gives a better balance. I don't normally crush the garlic or chilli, but will from now on. A bit of fun, and I get the effect it has. So, I will play around with sauce combo without soy, and see if I can get a different balance. Thank you.
My (Asian) family has always cooked the egg first using the same wok to cook the rest of the meal. This way, only one pan (or our case, a wok) to clean. The residual oil in the wok is enough for the stir fry. If you don't mind washing another pan, of course you can cook the egg separately right after the stir fry. However, since we were a big family and each person got an egg, regardless if we cooked it before or after the stir fry, the eggs would have gotten wrinkly..at least that's our reasoning.
@@wilbursabastiansasmallbist9170 I totally get that and probably wrongly I think the fried egg is not that good if cooked first then cools while the whole meal is cooked in a wok. The way I would do it is once I serve everything thats in the wok I`d fry the eggs in the same pan. Again probably I am wrong but I was curious to find out why they do it . ☺
ide just use two woks one for the eggs and one for everything else, amd then i would time it so ot was done at the same time so the whole dish was warm and not just some of it. Thats how i do mine anyway
Hello Marion!!! Your recipe just hit the spot!!! You make me drooling!! Definitely will cook it for my dinner tomorrow!!!! Thanks for sharing 😘
WOW! I thought this was more complicated and way too many ingredients involved. But this is so easy! Love it! Thankfully I have Asian Grocers that carry the Gaprow Basil.
You need to add some salt , white pepper and MSG it’s a savory dish so don’t add sugar ..

Fantastic! It's so simple yet so amazing!

My favorite Thai dish looks delicious I’m salivating 😊
Marion is a rock star, cooking while wearing white!😅 Khopun kha for sharing this amazing recipe for one of my faves!!!🎉
This sounds delicious!
So much better in Thailand with same ingredients, right Basil is key! Love this dish
Made this with ground turkey to be healthier and it was delicious! Always been skeptical of this seemingly simple dish until I made it. This one is for the books 👍
My favorite! I am growing both holy basil and thai basil in my garden so I eat this all summer.
Informative and engaging. I will definitely try cooking this Thai spicy pork w basil.
My favorite ❤ well, actually, its my Sons favorite & so i have been learning how to cook this too ❤️
Thanks going to Chiang Mai for a coupla weeks to cook and sketch and immerse in Thai cooking. Youre the warmup
This looks awesome and thanks for making it look so easy! Can't wait to try it out!
Watching here in USA at 7:30 am I’m starving😋😋😋
Wow! I grew this Basil without even knowing it!!! You can get it in Rockford, Illinois in the early summer at a place called Village Green! I also enjoy growing the purple Basil as well. Basil is just fun to grow! 🙂🙂🙂
I love Pad Kaprow! Best dish ever with a fried egg and rice! Uffff
I had the absolute best Pad Grapow outside of Thailand in a Berlin Thai Restaurant 2 days ago and had been thinking nonstop about if I would ever be able to recreate this - and here you come with a recipe. Serendipity ❤
What’s the restaurant called !?
@@Eatsoutheat Bangkok Bites in Prenzlauer Berg , enjoy
Delicious!!
Absolutely my fav Thai dish !!
There is a great little Thai place in Brisbane CBD and if would have this for lunch easy twice a week !
Oh and they love their chilli - it’s on open kitchen and the whole place knows when this dish is being made 🤣🤣
But now I’m so glad that you have shared this recipe .. I’ll be making this a lot
Hope you love my version!
Oooh what is this place called?! I have to visit!
What is the name of the place, please?
If Marion says it’s too spicy, you know it’s definitely true 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Carolina reaper ooh my son would like that!! But I’ll stick to the normal ❤❤❤. So easy to grow holy basil here in New Zealand.. you can buy them in Avondale market in Auckland fyi
Wow so yummy I will cook that tomorrow like it ❤ thank you Marion
I literally started growing Thai and holy basil because of you lol
Wow super fantastic recipe its very quick & easy one so yummy too. Thank you so much Dear 👌👍🤩🤗🥰😘
Nice, Gapaow Tapae is one of my usual stops in addition to Phed Mark. no where else in the world does it just right.
I gotta give you credit Marion. Even I'm afraid of the Carolina Reaper and I LOVE spicy food!
My wife ( Thai) who loves spicy food had her first taste of serious heat tonight after I put ghost peppers in her thai food.

Yum...Yum, especially the Reaper ! - exceptional !
And after making this dish multiple times and enjoying this delly dish in Thailand, let the Thai Sweet basil be the sweetness of this dish, .. If you want to add the sugar, go for it, but .... just let the basil excite the flavours. (Marion, love your channel, Much respect) :)
Ok but you took that reaper like a champ!
Oh man it was sooooooo hot 🥵
Having spent years in Thailand I had many favorite dishes; first phad Thai, then yum som oo, then som tom… but eventually I realised it’s pad kapow moo FULL STOP.
Looks so good!! You can find holy basil in many Indian stores - Indians use it in their food/Hindu religious practices. It’s called Tulsi.
I’ve been making this for years, but I was taught with chicken. I think because chicken was cheaper then pork or beef. I minced the meat myself in my food processor.
Love this dish!!
You can buy the seeds and grow this like any other basil. I did last summer and made this dish!
I know it's not the done thing in Thai dishes, but I've tried cooking the mince through to properly browned and thought it was better than the "just cooked through" that is typical for these.
Great idea, more flavour. The Thai dish Yum Woon Sen also uses crispy browned pork mince, a delicious dish to make 🍲
Yummy 🎉🎉🎉
Lol 5.53 wen u said its too spicy.. the guy got out frm resto holding fire extinguisher.. ready for u😂😂😂
I would very much like to eat there!
@4:24 oh dear 😅😅
I always ask for less spicy when i order kapow 😅 ❤
Call the Ambulance immediately 😅
Holy basil grows so well in FNQ I had friends who have hooked up with some expats originally from Bangkok.
It’s wild how different holy basil is even compared to “holy basil” which is usually a hybrid of some kind when found in Australia
I totally agree. I’ve found ‘holy basil’ here in Australia but it tastes completely different to the variety in Thailand
Interesting, I found & was growing Holy Basil in Qld & we all didn’t think much of the flavour. I guess I wasn’t growing the right one!
We Love Thai Basil so was wondering why the Holy Basil sucked so much 🤣 (It did look the same as the HB shown)
Bahahaha! Reminds of the spicy korean cup ramen challenge you did. The reaction is almost the same. LMAO 😂😂😂😂
Yummm
the reaper really spicy😂😂😂😅😅
Isn’t it supposed to have dark soy sauce also?
I like mine with a few green beans or string beans added
Sounds like a Michelin-Star Pad Gaprow...Have to go next time... very interesting.
What do you do with the three nearly full plates after you’re done with the video?
😊
Selain di thailand, nasi goreng juga ada di indonesia, malaysia. Kita satu rumpun di asia tenggara. Kalau di
Indonesia nasi gorengnya ditambah ayam dipotong kecil2. Hmm yummy
Should I use Italian or Thai basil if I can’t find Grapow
😋
♥️♥️♥️
So beautiful ❤️
What fish sauce do you recommend?
chef , please show New Zealand lamb chops and Xinjiang Lamb recipe please
The weed shop in the background lol
Chillies are a food not a competition.
No soy? I'm so confused by the many recipes for this dish lol. but I will try your version without the soy this weekend. I have no joy finding Thai basil in my bit of the UK.

In India you will find the Holy Basil in every Hindu’s house . We do not cook the herb in our food but have religious rituals with the Holy Basil.
#TeamGaprowMooKob
I like that Thai prik kee nu are very hot but the burn is gone in five minutes. You are indeed brave to try the Carolina reaper.
I believe if it doesn't make you cough while you're cooking pad gaprao, you're not doing it right 😅
It’s too bad-I won’t ever be eating this!
❤❤🇰🇪
I dont understand, why the egg is cooked first? it will cool down and wrinkle.. it is only few sec to cook it in the end before serving ? :))
My (Asian) family has always cooked the egg first using the same wok to cook the rest of the meal. This way, only one pan (or our case, a wok) to clean. The residual oil in the wok is enough for the stir fry. If you don't mind washing another pan, of course you can cook the egg separately right after the stir fry.

Indian grocers carry holy basil!
Much better in steak than mince.
😂
_Carolina Reaper_ pad krapow!? RIP toilet!
Why didn't you tell us who these "restaurants are"??????
❤❤👏👏🥰🥰💛💛
A ped mark rippoff shop
did you visit the cannabis shop next door?
Haha. I didn’t notice it. But I wouldn’t have anyway. Cannabis makes me 🤮 🤣
Number of cannabis shops in Thailand was ridiculous when I visited recently, in any built up area there's usually one within your line of sight
