Mixed Vegetables Pad Kra Pao

🇹🇭 Thai

Holy-basil stir-fry with mixed vegetables — spicy, garlicky and crowned with a crispy fried egg. 17 minutes of mostly hands-off cooking.

Prep 10 min Cook 7 min Serves 3 Easy

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Bell Pepper1, sliced
  • Spring Onions3, cut into batons
  • Oyster Sauce1 tbsp
  • Thai Basil2 handfuls
  • Fish Sauce2 tbsp
  • Shallots4 cloves, minced
  • Mixed Vegetables500 g
  • Coconut Oil2 tbsp
  • Red Curry Paste1 tsp
  • Bird's Eye Chilies5

Instructions

  1. 1

    Get your wok ripping hot and add the Coconut Oil — it should shimmer instantly.

  2. 2

    Toss in the shallots and red curry paste for 15 seconds, no longer, so they perfume the oil without burning.

  3. 3

    Add the mixed vegetables and stir-fry hard, keeping everything moving until just cooked through.

  4. 4

    Throw in the bell pepper and spring onions, then splash in the fish sauce around the edge of the wok.

  5. 5

    Toss twice more, kill the heat, and serve immediately over steamed rice — a stir-fry waits for no one.

Chef's tip

A final squeeze of lime just before serving lifts every other flavour.
