Thai Beef with Basils

 

Also known as, “Phat ka-phrao” which means “Holy Basil stir-fry”.

This is such a deliciously hot and spicy stir-fry. 

Who would think that Chilli and Basil could create such an amazing dish.

If anyone would ask me to recommend a Thai dish, Thai Beef or Chicken with Basils, would be what I would suggest. It is my absolute favourite.

Ingredients:

500g   Minced Beef

2T   Oil

6-8  Fresh Garlic Cloves

1x   Onion

1x   Pepper (Green or Yellow)

1C  Fresh Basil Leaves

4x   Eggs

Chilli Paste Ingredients:

2x  Fresh Red Chillies

2T  Fish Sauce

2T  Light Soy Sauce

2T  Lemon Juice

1T  Sugar

1t  Corn Flour

 

1. Wash and slice the Pepper into thin slices.

2. Peel and slice the Onions and Fresh Garlic into thin slices.

3. Add the Oil into a frying pan or wok, add the Onions, Peppers and Garlic. Fry it until it is light golden brown.

4. Add the Minced Beef and stir-fry it for 2 to 3 minutes.

5. Add the Chilli Paste, stir it through and cook it for about 10 minutes or until the sauce thickens.

6. Finally, add the Fresh Basil Leaves, stir it through.

7. Fry the Eggs sunny side up. Crispy whites with a soft yolk.

Serve it with steamed Jasmine Rice and top it with an Egg. Absolute Bliss…

Lotsa Love
