I am a Thai, and this is a pretty accurate rendition of the common one. Even though you do not need to complicate it by using double salty agent (just fish sauce is enough) and double sugar (brown is enough). This dish is the king of Thai streetfood! It's like 40 baht (around 1 USD) and can be found everywhere. It is almost as if Thai national dish haha Nice work chef! I love this channel!
I finally caved and Googled it. The hole is for stirring things, so liquids pass through and provide less resistance, similar to a slotted spoon. It's also good for fishing out poached eggs without getting a ton of the poaching liquid.
Danielle Anderson also handy if you wanna hang them tool bench style.
Minnit Mann I love you profile pic it reminds me of an angry Carl 😂
These spoons are holy.
Wait, hold on a sec! So the hole isn't there because Chef John once deflected a bullet with it?!
It is also actually one serving of dry spaghetti. Grab a handful and the amount you can fit into the hole is technically one serving.
In Thailand, we use the whole leaf of Thai basil and... like 2 or 3 times more, but it depend of the preference. By the way a nice way to eat this is with rice and crispy sunny side-up fried eggs (the one that most western chefs think are overcooked eggs). The way to make crispy sunny side-up fried eggs is to use hot pan and a lot of oil. Hope this helps.
as a Thai it's interesting to see chef John's take on Pad Krapow. this is not wrong just a bit different from how I normally make
how I make Pad Krapow
1. pow garlic and chili peppers in a mortar
2. pull of holy basil leaves. no slice
3. put vegetable oil in pan stir fry garlic chili paste
4. chicken in (chopped or small slices) stir fry
5. season with fish sauce (or soy sauce and oyster sauce) to your taste
6. holy basil in and fry until dark green
I'm Thai as well and i can confirm this is what we really do.
Having said that, i think chef John's version looks just as good if not better.
The part where he slowly glaze the sauce over then deglaze the pan later with the same sauce is a very nice touch.
But we don't use coconut sugar in this dish, do we? If at all, we use regular white sugar.
Well, before we discovered cane sugar, we use palm sugar. It's fragrant as well so too much will overwhelm the dish.
Your technique is how South East Asians make their stir fry. I can confirm this as Indonesian
db00tugal I'm Indonesian. We cook this just like you do. Fry garlic and chilli first, then the chicken. This technique gives better result.
As a Thai-American living in Thailand I can confirm the legitimate awesomeness of your take on this classic Thai "fast food" dish. And yes fried egg is almost mandatory :)
Chef John must've sensed I was watching one of those flashy excrutiatingly fast Gordon Ramsay videos that consist of weird camera angles, cuts each 2 or 3 seconds, and like 3 words from Gordon, because I needed Chef John's chill attitude to be able to come down from that
tommapar88 haha! So true. What a waste of good camera angles lol!
"Add some chiken broth. Or if times are tough, just use water".
Lol, yeah. Times are tough, so I ain't got no chiken broth. That oyster sauce and and asian fish sauce, though, I am swiming in those.
Yeah, especially paying good money, using one spoonful, and having the rest rot in the refrigerator. Unless you make a lot of oriental food that requires these specific flavorings. I don't.
hhahaha I love you guys
Lincoln Noronha I got all the other stuff... I'm missing the holy spatula tho
Lincoln Noronha bro, the oyster sauce and fish sauce are very cheap. there's always a Chinese or thai super market in every city. the food there is very cheap and tasty. a bottle of oyster sauce cost same as a ketchup probably
Elazul2k 😂😂😂 what?
I love this guy
Just got done cooking this recipie and it might be the best thai recipie ive ever tasted when it comes to chicken. Just love it. Such dept of flavor!
AMAZING!
"Holy Basil Batman!" Best line so far Chef!!
So happy you made one of my fave Thai dishes. Thank you! Gotta find the time to make some now.
Never watch these videos while hungry. Excessive amounts of saliva will be produced.
I watch these videos while hungry, so I get motivated and get my lazy ass to kitchen.
I am Thai and i really appreciate your take on it 😊 thankyou!
I am Thai and I think your Thai food looks really good :)
Great videos. Great commentary. And most importantly, great food! I only found this treasure vault of information about a week ago, already love it!
I just bought some spicy thai basil at the store today as I came across it by accident really. And tonight this recipe is suggested to me on CZcams. Talk about perfect timing, this was one of the best tasting dishes I've eaten in a while!
"roll it up nice and tight like a cigar" heh... I think we ALL know where you got your rolling skills Chef John
rolling up crepes of course!
This is my favourite Thai dish of all time, and yes, the fried egg is essential. Don't leave it out!
I'm all for the late night uploads!
Chef John! just wanna throw it out there that if you add green beans this will taste very very good!
source: Im Thai : )
I grow my own holy basil (one of several kinds that I like to have around), so I'm happy to have something else to use it in! I also happen to have coconut sugar in my cabinet at all times, for just these occasions. And grow my own Thai chilies, too. :)
Your show makes me happy, Chef. Just wanted to let you know. :)
i just made the banana bread and my husband is obsessed with it same as he was with the jamaican jerk chicken. definitely gonna try this one.
I have been waiting for this dish for yeaaaars!!
was so happy when you topped it with the egg. knew it was missing more than cayenne.
Yesss asian dish finally!!!!! Great job making this tomorrow and please more more MORE
Man, that looks mouthwateringly good. I really have to try this one soon.
I'm going to try this recipe . I will most definitely be able to cook and enjoy this. the ingredients is easy no searching in stores or on line. Thanks again for another fabulous recipe.
Thanks Chef John! I know what I'm making tomorrow. Looks good!
So glad you make thai recipe chef john
Definitely trying this, along with the spicy caramel chicken
I'm from Thailand and this got me drooling Chef John
I 've been waiting for this one John !!
ooooh yeah
I like the way you sliced those basil 💖
What a classic! I just had this a couple of days ago in fact
this looks amazing!!! can't wait to make it!!!!
OMG YES THANK YOU this is by far my favorite thai dish. AND you added the fried runny egg :D
i dont even cook, and I'm in the notification squad! Chef John, what have you done to me!?
suviluer now's the time to start.
I love this dish too. Will try this recipe this weekend.
prob. the most eaten dish here in thailand!! great stuff chef!
Chef John, not only did you perfect food wishes, but most importantly, you've perfected chewing and talking clearly at the same time.
yum! definitley trying!!! Thanks!!
now that's a good looking recipe chef John
I'm excited already!
Hey Chef! My two cents as an Asian living in America! Wanting to cook this, I had to hunt down and investigate some substitutes, normal basil can be mixed with mint in a 1:1 ratio to yield a flavour profile more similar to holy basil. In addition, Thai basil and Birds eye chili can be found at 99 Ranch or your local Asian supermarket. The birds eye chili really makes a difference!
Thanks for making me giggle and roll my eyes at the same time, Chef John. 😂
looks great! and also easy to cook👍🏿
I'm so happy to see that even after a few years you're still happily cooking and making awesome videos Chef John :) You're the man!
Finally got in before the 2500 view. I can't wait to make this dish. I try to make one Chef John recipe a week, and of all the online recipes I try I find it hard to mess up a Chef John dish.
A great dish, and yes the fried egg makes the dish, of course the holy basil too which is easy to grow.
Once again, awesome!
FYI, this showed up in one of my "recommended videos" after watching a Cosby Stills and Nash video. I don't know how relevant this is. But I'm happy regardless.
That looks bloody good.
Chef you HAVE to top this off with a fried egg! The yolk mixed in with the sauce and the rice is divine #FACTS
can't wait to try this!
Oh! Em! Gee! I can't wait to make this😘
OMG YES! I am so going to do this one!
Chef John I know you're here so if you don't reply I'm going to cut my medium rare beef tenderloin without letting it rest for 15 minutes after cooking.
How do you know he's here?
Noah Anderson go ahead. After all you are the chief of your dried out beef
You are the beef cutter of steak presumably well buttered
You are the don until the arrival of chef john
After all you are the mistake of your unrested steak
Hey, Chef John. I discovered a little foodie trick to add more Thai to your basil. Adding a little star anise to the dish will get you closer to that authentic Thai flavour. I got the idea after watching a video that described Thai basil as having a bit of a liquorice flavour. It really works!
Thanks! That's a quality tip.
This chicken would be perfect for some lettuce wraps!!!
lucy phoenix Terrific idea, I love lettuce wraps‼️. Thanks🙏🏻
Thai cooking is 'free-style' with a jazz-like structure. For this dish holy basil is essential for that intense "kra-pow" flavor factor.But not always easy to find in North America. Its grows like a weed in Thailand.
Chef John, your version does looks really,really good! Perhaps the most simple(but not easy),flavor filled dish on the planet!
Have you had a go at Laarb?....with bacon OMG!!!
This really good recipe. real thai traditional food. ))
I have to try this, I have a tonne of Thai Basil and it super tasty.
This looks delicious! I know whats for dinner tonight, luckily I have a Vietnamese market right at the end of my street to get the chiles, ect.
You are the Marty McFly of your Spicy Thai of your Charles Dickens of your Basil Chickens.
Thank you Chef John.
yum, looks great
I'm sooo going to make this, this week.
love your vids they really help me out
Sounds like a great recipe
Roasting some peanuts and adding them towards the end makes this meal really nice.
Omg yes! I know what I'm making... Yum
I've made this many times and it's addicting.
I don't live in Thai.However, In my country whenever people mention Basil,we mean Thai basil.Thai basil is so much intenser than regular basil.Great video Chef John
Looks so good!!!! Yummy!!
Man, you are so nice, I love this videos so much
I take holy basil as a supplement sometimes, didn't know they cooked with it. it's super relaxing and lowers blood pressure. good stuff.
There is a Than place across the street from my office and I was going to have this today...guess it's a sign from Chef John that I should make my own.
These dishes are making me so hungry right now.
I love you Chef John
Luckily, I happen to live in Bangkok and enjoy delicious pad krapao gai on a regular basis. I know what I'm gonna have for dinner after watching this video!
Thanks Chef Joh, this looks great! I actually have coconut sugar, so I will have to make this :)
I love his asian inspired videos. a couple other good ones to check out are his caramel chicken video and his Mongolian pork chops video.
lol holy (holey) spatula, love you chef John
I love your videos ❤️
would be a great filling for lettuce wraps!
I'M TOTALLY MAKING THIS!!!
You're golden man 😂❤️
Chef, youre an inspiration!! you make cooking look so much fun and effortless! Also, this is one of my favorite dish to eat and this looks so damn good! its spot on too! (thats coming from someone whos been in bkk for almost 20yrs.) you should try it with minced beef next time! tastes better than chicken imo. But thats just my opinion tho.. Also, u definitely need to try some more thai cuisine, Chef! =)
looks really good
Chef John you'd freak if you knew HOW they did the fried egg... It's basically lightly deep fried (hot cooking oil basted fried egg) and it tastes amazing on Pad Kra Prow!
Speaking of amazing, that's what you and your show are, Chef John. Try the beef version sometime and as always, Enjoy!
This is glorious.
making this now for dinner, will report back for results
its delicious
While you're doing Asian foods, I wish you'd consider something from a country with great food that we never hear about: Nepal. I've traveled there, and a few days ago I was visiting with a Nepalese friend who lives here in Mississippi and he made some delicious dal bhat which was as good as any I had while I was in Nepal. It didn't take him very long to make it, so it seems like a convenient meal for busy people.
I think dal bhat is one of the most delicious meals I've ever had. It's hearty and you don't get hungry soon after eating it. The basic dish is meat-free, although small portions of meat are often served on the side. The essential dal bhat is just a thick broth made from lentils, seasonal vegetables and spices, served with a heap of rice. So is it possible you might one day show us how to make it?
This is quite authentic and even in Thailand ,there's not many shops/food stalls make this dish as good as you do !
Next time ,try to pound the chilies and garlic in the mortar ,it's much much better.
Thanks! Yes, a mortar! That's a great call.
The problem with commercial Thai-cooking these days is 1. too much seed oil used, 2. MSG used in everything.
The best kitchen is your own kitchen!
looks good I really want food now
Pad Krapow Gai plus fried egg are the best!!!!!
You're amazingly funny. And, informative. Good combo. :)
Great how you used a regular cast-iron skillet so those who don't have a wok and make this and it will turn out great. That egg was really hamming it up for the camera. Thai street food fried eggs are deep-fried so you get serious carmelization happening; less photogenic, more delicious. Overall, excellent and I will make this one soon.
