| Pad Kraprao Kai |
Tonight I had spicy chicken stirfry with Thai basil or better known as pad kraprao kai in Thai. My pad kraprao kai is not as spicy as it is supposed to be because I do not want to burn my tongue. I like spicy food but I cannot eat very spicy food. It suffers not only my tongue but also my stomach. It is not happy when those symptoms happen later. Back to my dinner, I cooked it yesterday and this was the leftover.
Cooking pad kraprao is not difficult and the result is worth doing. You can apply different meat to get a variety of pad kraprao. The essential ingredient is kraprao leaf or Thai basil. This herb has unique scent and very beneficial to health. It has been long used and famous among Thai people.
For main dishes, Thai menus usually include rice and varieties of dishes that we prefer. For example, pad kraprao kai, mixed veggetable wild soup, stirfried tofu with oyster sauce, chicken masman curry, stirfried shellfish and cabbage and tomato salad. After meal, we often have some fruits or dessert to complete our delicious meal.
I chose steamed pumpkin and some traditional Thai dessert such as foi thong or sweet golden thread-like egg-stripes, med kanhoon or sweet minced mong bean dipped in egg and syrup, thong yhod or sweet egg mixed with coconut milk.
Those are very tastety, but do not ask me how much calories we may gain. :)
