PAD GRA PROW - EASY THAI STREET FOOD RECIPE!

Since I am always and forever dreaming of travel, I thought I’d share a new recipe and popular street food dish today from a country on my bucket list, Thailand. Pad Gra Prow (sometimes also seen spelled Pad Gra Pow or Pad Kra Prow) is a flavourful, ground pork dish that is served on top of a bed of steamed Jasmin rice and topped with a sunny-side-up egg. Not only is it super simple to make but it will have you asking for second helpings! Don’t like pork? That’s okay! Tofu makes a great vegetarian substitute for pork or even ground chicken. Alternatively, if you are looking for a low-carb option you can also substitute the rice for a lettuce wrap which adds an extra refreshing element to this already delicious dish. No matter what your preference, this recipe will have you daydreaming of traveling to Thailand one day soon too.

INGREDIENTS:

Yields 2-3 Servings

2 CUPS of Steamed Jasmin Rice
4 TBSP of Vegetable Oil divided - 1 TBSP and 3 TBSP
1 TBSP of Oyster Sauce
1 TBSP of Soy Sauce
1.5 TSP of Fish Sauce
2 TBSP Garlic - minced
1/2 TSP of Thai chili - minced
1 LB or 450g of Ground Pork - you can substitute for chicken or tofu but squeeze out all the water if you use tofu
1 Cup of French Beans - cut in 1” pieces
1/2 a White Onion - cut in 1/4 inch strips
2 Eggs
1 Cup of Thai Holy Basil - roughly chopped - if you can’t find Thai Holy Basil you can use regular Italian Basil instead
Salt and Pepper

DIRECTIONS:

Cook rice and set aside.

While rice is cooking, add the oyster sauce, soy sauce and, fish sauce to a bowl and mix thoroughly, set aside

Next, in a wok heat up your vegetable oil and add in your garlic and chili. Cook until fragrant.

Once fragrant, add in your ground pork (or substitute with chicken or crumbled tofu) and allow to cook completely. Salt and pepper as desired.

Next, add in veggies (onion and beans) and continue to cook for about 2 minutes.

During this time/, fry eggs sunny side up in a skillet with a little bit of vegetable oil until whites are cooked but yolk is still runny, set aside.

Once pork/veggies are done, add the sauce mixture you made earlier to the wok and stir until well incorporated.

Next, stir in basil until wilted

Lastly, plate the pad gra prow on top of a bed of rice adding the fried egg on top and garnish with a piece of fresh basil.

Additionally, you can add a lime wedge on the side as well as a few extra small pieces of chili in a tablespoon of fish sauce when serving.

Enjoy!
