Steps to make Spicy Thai Basil Stir-fry (Pad Kapow):
- Start by peeling the head garlic. It's an annoying job and what I usually just do is crush it then the skin comes straight off, it doesn't really matter that we're crushing it because we're going to chop it anyway.
- Cut the stem off the chillis and roughing chop them up but not too finely.
- Cut the lemongrass in half and roughly chop that too.
- Combine the lemongrass, chilli and garlic and start mincing them all together until they're all roughly the same size pieces, put it into a bowl and it's time to cook!
- On medium heat pour your oil and add the mixture we minced earlier, don't fry too much just gently heat up until fragrant.
- Before everything starts crisping up and browning add the meat, turn the heat up to mid/high and begin stir-frying until the minced pork has cooked.
- Now it's time to add everything else, pour the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, a spoon of sugar and keep stir-frying.
- Now depending on what kind of basil you bought this can go either way. If you bought the frozen basil put the cubes in and keep stir-frying until they've defrosted and you can smell the basil-y aroma. If you have fresh basil which I recommend getting then turn off the heat and add your basil leaves no stems they're way too firm and give it a little toss and you're done.
- Serve with rice and a fried egg and you're done!
