Pad Ka-Prao


I planted Holy Basil this spring to make real Pad Ka-Prao. (Picture 1)

Mise; missed the part where I wasn’t supposed to make a paste. (Picture 2)

With a puffy fried egg on top. (Picture 3)

Delicious.

Question: what else can I make with holy basil??

    I adore fresh Thai basil on a poached egg and toast.

    You can make Fried Basil and Eggplant (pad prik pao ma ku), Jungle Curry (kaeng pa) and Drunken Noodles (pad kee mao). You could also make tulsi tea if you’re into that sort of thing.

    You can also dry it at the end of the season and use it through the winter. It’s obviously not quite as nice, but it does the trick in a pinch.
