Pad Kra Pao

A fiery stir-fry of chili, garlic, and holy basil — bold, aromatic, and deeply satisfying.

About This Dish

Pad Kra Pao (ผัดกะเพรา) is one of Thailand’s most beloved street-food staples — fast, flavourful, and packed with heat. At Crystal Thani, we prepare it the traditional way: wok-fried with fresh chili, garlic, and fragrant holy basil, then tossed with your choice of protein in a deeply savoury sauce. Served over jasmine rice and often topped with a crispy fried egg, it’s the perfect blend of spicy, salty, and aromatic.

Ingredients & Flavors

Our Pad Kra Pao is made with simple, high-quality ingredients that pack powerful flavour:

  • Fresh Thai holy basil for authentic aroma
  • Wok-fried garlic and bird’s eye chili for bold heat
  • Rich savoury sauce with soy and oyster sauce
  • Your choice of protein: chicken, beef, tofu, or shrimp
  • Optional fried egg to top it all off

How to Enjoy

Pad Kra Pao is best enjoyed hot over steamed jasmine rice with a crispy fried egg on top. Add a splash of fish sauce with sliced chilies (nam pla prik) for extra heat and umami, just like it’s served at Bangkok street stalls. Pair it with a refreshing Thai iced tea to balance the spice.

*Contains soy and fish sauce. Can be made vegetarian or vegan upon request.*
