Vibrant Vegetarian Pad Krapao A Thai Basil Delight
Vibrant Vegetarian Pad Krapao A Thai Basil Delight
Here's a recipe for a vegetarian Pad Krapao that stays true to its Thai roots and packs a punch of flavor:
Ingredients:
200g firm tofu, crumbled (or substitute with plant-based ground meat)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 Thai bird's eye chilies, finely chopped (adjust to your spice tolerance)
1 cup green beans, trimmed and chopped
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 cup Thai basil leaves the star of the dish!
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon vegetarian oyster sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup water
Cooked jasmine rice for serving
Optional: A fried egg (for that authentic Pad Krapao topping)
Instructions:
Prepare your wok: Heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Create the aromatic base: Add minced garlic and chopped chilies, stir-frying until fragrant.
Protein magic: Toss in the crumbled tofu or plant-based ground meat, cooking until slightly browned.
Vegetable medley: Add green beans and red bell pepper. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they soften but retain a slight crunch.
Seasoning magic: Pour in soy sauce, vegetarian oyster sauce, sugar, and water. Stir well to coat all the ingredients.
Bring in the Thai basil: Add the basil leaves last. Stir until they wilt and release their aroma.
Serve & savor: Plate the stir-fry on a bed of cooked jasmine rice. If desired, top with a fried egg for an extra layer of indulgence.
Enjoy your authentic and vegetarian-friendly Thai Pad Krapao!
