Meals from trimming V1 Pad Krapao

Pad Krapao

Ingredients:
– 500g finely diced beef or beef mince (80/20) (approx. 1 lb)
– 4 cloves garlic, peeled
– 2 bird’s eye chillies
– 1 large red chilli
– 1 bunch holy basil (Thai basil or sweet basil can be used as alternatives)
– 1 lime
– 3 tbsp fish sauce
– 2 tsp sugar
– oil for frying (beef tallow or any neutral-flavoured oil will work)
– 4 eggs
– steamed jasmine rice, to serve

Method:
1. Using a mortar and pestle, crush the garlic, 2 bird’s eye chillies, and the large red chilli (diced). Pound into a paste—it can remain a little chunky.
2. To make the Prik Nam ****dipping sauce, mix together the lime juice, 2 bird’s eye chillies (finely sliced), 1 tablespoon fish sauce, and ½ teaspoon sugar. Set aside for later.
3. Heat a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Once hot, add 1 tablespoon of oil. When the oil is hot, add the beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the chilli-garlic paste to the beef, stir quickly, then add the fish sauce and sugar. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes, adding water 1 tablespoon at a time if the mixture begins to dry out. You’re not making a wet stir-fry, but the beef should be nicely coated in sauce.
5. In the last 30 seconds of cooking, add the basil and toss. Then remove from the wok.
6. Serve the beef alongside steamed jasmine rice, with the Prik Nam dipping sauce and a crispy fried egg on top.

  1. This is a very old recipe it seems. The more modern versions use a mixture of oyster, soy and fish sauce which i would recommend to try.
    Also this is way too less garlic and chili for my taste :). Some Thais also use a chalotte as well.

  2. Andy are those plastic boards? If so there's so much plastic in your food mate please switch.

  3. Wrong type of basil used. "Kaprao" is holy basil, the one in the video is thai basil which is "horapha".

  4. I didn’t think you were gonna smoke a brisket but then again I’m a chef so I sort of knew what was going on .. hopefully you’ll read this and get to attempting Albondigas Mexican meatball dish .. still requesting!

  5. This dish is such an unsung hero…diamond in the rough. Never tasted it before until the other week where I thought I'd try making it. So quick, simple and flavourful. Umami in abundance. Its become one of my favourites.

  6. Pad Kra Pao is literally my favorite dish. So good to see Andy make it! I just wish I could try it! 😅

  7. Looks great, but there is no shot that the brisket is tender enough to eat. That's probably got the mouth feel of chopped rubber bands

  8. Looks great but in Thailand I’ve never seen Pad Krapao cooked with beef. Most commonly it’s pork and sometimes chicken. I might have to try this version. Looks legit!
