Pad Kra Pao is a bold and aromatic Thai stir-fry made with finely chopped chicken, pork, or beef, flash-fried with garlic, chilies, and generous amounts of holy basil (kra pao). Often served over jasmine rice and topped with a crispy fried egg, it’s known for its punchy heat, savory umami, and the distinct licorice-like aroma of holy basil. Originating from central Thailand, this dish is a staple of street food culture, beloved for its quick cooking time and fiery flavor. It's one of the most commonly ordered dishes by locals across the country.
