      @@p.s.5135 Hoisin is more Vietnamese and Chinese. That said; I recommend using hoisin sauce in place of oyster sauce in recipes. That's what I usually do, at any rate. I cook for someone with a shellfish allergy, so oyster sauce is a no-no. It tastes amazing in basil stir fries.

    I am so glad that (thanks to Thailand being a favorite holiday destination for the Swiss) I can get holy basil, Thai basil, long coriander, cilantro with roots, and other Thai vegetables at the large Thai grocery store literally in the building next door, here in Zurich!

    • @tookitogo
      @tookitogo 3 года назад

      @Snow prince Very interesting!! I suppose everyone loves places that are different from where they live!
      My theory is that Switzerland has great Thai food (both restaurants and shops) for two reasons: 1. Swiss people going to Thailand on holiday and getting to know the food there, and 2. Swiss people going to Thailand on holiday and eventually returning with a Thai spouse (who then wants real Thai food here). (I’ve seen a few restaurants here that have a menu that is half Swiss food, half Thai food! I always assume it’s a Swiss-Thai couple that runs it!)

    I just picked up the first of this season's Holy Basil at my local farmers market on Tuesday. A Lao family of farmers grow it all the way down in Fresno (3 to 4 hours away) and drive to my town twice a week, in season. Made up a huge batch of this, half to eat now for breakfasts this week and half frozen for later. It is one of my favorites made even more special because it is so seasonal.
    Once you have had this dish with the correct basil, substituting Horapa or Italian basil doesn't cut it any more. Oddly, when I first started eating this dish it was at a local thai restaurant in San Francisco, back in the late eighties. They substituted mint for the Ka Pow basil and it made an acceptable, though different dish.
    I am very lucky to have easy access to probably the only source for fresh Ka Pow basil in the Bay Area east of the hills. Without this I'd have to drive 30 or more miles to Berkeley or Richmond to get this basil.

      +GizmoBee1702 It's confusing. Even thai people call the holy basil "thai basil" when they refer to it in english. To avoid confusion; ask for grapao (holy basil). Thai basil is horapa which is good in a red curry.

      @Dirkschneider 9 лет назад +16

      The thai basil taste a bit like anise (or liquorice) and has smooth edges. Holy basil has jagged edges. You can keep that in mind if there's confusion. Like I said many label both sweet and holy basil as thai basil. I noticed that even Pailin put 'thai basil' in the title of this video. But it is Holy basil.

    I live in Japan and it's harder to source some of these ingredients simply because Japanese local equivalents are often softer in flavor, but I really wanted to learn how to do this because I always eat this at my favorite Thai restaurants in Osaka and Nagoya. I finally tried to make this last night and I bought more ingredients today just so I could try cooking it again. I am pretty determined to perfect that authentic flavor-kick (despite the available ingredients I have), so I will keep on trying/experimenting/fine-tuning. Thank you so much for making these cooking videos. I have, since about a year ago, been on a mission to become a kick-ass home cook, and this helps tons.

    Hi Pailin, I couldn't find any Thai chilies in the supermarket (I live in Seattle) so I used roasted jalapenos from an open flame instead for the mortar and pestle garlic paste. And I couldn't find my sugar so I used bourbon maple syrup for the sauce. For the holy basil, I just used Trader Joe's basil. It sounds crazy, but it turned out pretty good and delicious! The roasted jalapeno added this smokiness and body with the maple syrup in the fish, soy, oyster sauce. I guess the point I wanted to make was that you don't have to have the exact ingredients, but subbing for a few ingredients doesn't kill the dish. Thanks for this recipe!

    We have just made your Krapao ❤️🙏🏻 I loved the addition of Fishsauce. My wife was coughing too and asked me if Thai people also still cough doing it :) Thank you for your beautiful recipe and greetings from Germany

    Did this with ground turkey today minus the dark soy and with chicken powder instead. I just happen to lose my control with the saltiness of the dark soy and somehow masks the natural presentation of the dish. Turned out better than expected. 😋

    Holy basil is the only ingredient that makes Pad Grapao, Pad Grapao. Thai Basil (purple stem) and Sweet Basil is the same which is used for Green Curry. They are very different and give different flavor. Technically, Pad Grapao will not have long green bean or onion in it. I love the original version. Sadly, I could not find holy basil here in GA.

      Original actually have green long bean and onions in it, I am Thai so I know. We don't put especially in a Thai restaurant cos most foreigners prefer plain, but for the locals yes.

    • @omgwth7567
      @omgwth7567 6 лет назад +3

      kaweeJay is correct. the original won't have long bean or onion in it. just chicken or pork or meat... and holy basil. the frill will a bit dilute the original taste of this dish.
      (Updated)
      But .. lately we just discovered the original recipe in thai cook book. There were long beans in this Pad Kaprao. 😅 So...

    At 8:16 I thought I was having a stroke for a second. Pailin is so comfortable speaking Thai and switching back to the more familiar English without a second's pause. Just one of the many things that makes her an incredible presenter...and, not to mention, wicked cool.

    I made this today, and it was delicious. I did not have holy basil, so I used spearmint from the garden (Racha's cafe in Berkeley, CA, has this dish with mint). I also used diced carrots instead of beans, and reduced the sugar to 1 tsp (I don't like it too sweet). It was very good.

    This looks amazing! I'm from Hong Kong and I buy this dish with red rice from a local Thai takeaway place like 2 times a week! (hard to find "original" version in a restaurant if you know what I mean). And I think I'm going to try and cook this for dinner tonight!! 😍

    I made this wonderful dish ,And i did not have all the Ingredients on hand ,Mostly the red chillies also used frozen green beans ,I used Thai Basil instead of Holy Basil everything came out nice was Very Delicious . The errors i made were adding too much water to the sauce ,and balancing the ratio of vegtable to the meat . Cant wait to try it next time .

    There are dishes I try I like I’ll make 1-2 times. Then there’s this dish. 3 times a week at least. It’s fast, easy, and ridiculously good. I haven’t used holy basil yet, none of our Asian grocery stores carry it but I’m using Thai Basil.
    Amazon will be delivering some holy basil seeds in a few days, I’ll start them in pots inside so I can see what the difference is.
