I saw an invitation to try some sample sizes on Reddit and immediately was like "yes I'll try it!!" I'm so glad I did!!! This pad kra pao was sooo good! I love making thai food from scratch at home, but for those days, I don't want to drive to the store for specific ingredients, I know that I could just use a package of this and it will taste amazing!! I can't wait to order some more!! My grocery store didn't have any ground pork, so I diced some pork cutlets and made it with that. I added more garlic and frozen thai chilis I had and it was spicy but delicious!
I'm so surprised at the flavor, but also how easy it is to make this! I added more Thai chilli's and holy basil and just finished! Look forward to being more of the recipe packs.
I frequently make Thai food, and was very excited to try the pad kra pao! I used ground chicken instead of pork, and followed the instructions, including adding the fried egg on top at the end. The package is a powder, not a sauce, but it dissolves well into the protein after you cook it. The basil stems were a little hard, but if you soak them in a bit of water, or add a little water with the dish, it will likely soften them up and mitigate that problem. It was incredibly flavorful, and I only added a small amount of fish sauce at the end for a bit more of that flavor. For those who want easy to make Thai food without needing all the specialty ingredients, I would definitely recommend this product.
Yesterday, when there were floods in Chiang Mai, I had a chance to taste authentic TAAN THAI pad kra pao with the Basil fried corn menu. It is very easy to make. Just put a pan on the stove, add oil, add corn 🌽, add extra chili (I like the spicy taste) 🌶 , and of course, add the TAAN THAI pad kra pao and stir fry for a while. I enjoyed the corn basil with a cold beer.
And the next menu is Khao Soi 🍜🤤
The most important thing is that it can be carried anywhere because it's a small size. LOVE IT!!!!
Pad Kra Pao is a staple dish in Thai communities in Thailand and abroad. It's also the food I miss the most while staying in the US. A lot of Thai restaurants around here have their own take on Pad Kra Pao, unlike what I'm used to back in Thailand, but this product is exactly what I've been looking for. It's easy, tasty, and authentic!
I'm so happy I've found it!
