Pad Ga-prao (Pad Ga-praw) is one of the most common dishes in Thailand. It's usually served as a one-dish meal, a quick meal eaten over rice, and is usually topped with a fried egg. This recipe is for a 'one-dish meal' sized portion. If you plan on making this as a dish to serve with others for a shared meal, double the recipe. Unfortunately, it's hard to get Holy Basil outside of Thailand, so most restaurants in the West substitute with Thai Basil, which isn't as good in this dish. Pad Ga-prao can be made with ground or sliced chicken, beef or pork using this same recipe. You can even use pre-fried tofu. Serve with a sliced chili in a bowl with a teaspoon of fish sauce.
