i Pad Krapow Recipe | Authentic Thai Basil Chicken Stir-Fry

 Thai Pad Krapow is a popular Thai street food made with savory stir-fried minced chicken, fragrant holy basil, garlic, fresh chilies, and a flavorful combination of fish sauce and soy sauce. Quick to prepare and packed with bold aromatic flavors, this classic Thai dish is commonly served over steamed jasmine rice and topped with a crispy fried egg. The combination of spicy chilies, salty sauces, fragrant basil, and juicy minced chicken makes Pad Krapow a satisfying everyday meal. It is a beloved choice for lunch or dinner and one of Thailand's most recognizable comfort foods. 

Cooking Method


  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat.
  2. Add the chopped garlic and Thai chilies. Stir-fry for 30–60 seconds until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.
  3. Add the ground chicken and stir-fry for 5–7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until fully cooked and lightly browned.
  4. Add the fish sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and water or chicken broth. Stir well to coat the chicken.
  5. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly and coat the chicken.
  6. Turn off the heat and immediately add the holy basil leaves. Toss until the basil wilts from the residual heat.
  7. In a separate skillet, heat vegetable oil and fry the eggs until the whites are crisp and golden around the edges and the yolks are cooked to your preferred level.
  8. Spoon the hot Pad Krapow over steamed jasmine rice.
  9. Top each serving with a fried egg and garnish with cucumber or lime wedges if desired.
  10. Serve immediately while hot.
