Earlier this year, I went to Thailand for my brother’s wedding, and for the first time in my life, I has Pad Kra Pao, which I understand to be one of national dishes of the country.
It’s quickly become one of my fave meals, and after spending way too much time struggling with Instagram’s abysmal search UI when looking at messages, I’m sharing the links to the videos and recipes I keep referring to when I introduce other to it.
It’s fast, fun to make, the most distinctive ingredient, Thai Basil is getting easier to find in supermarkets in Europe (there are a few good asian supermarkets in Berlin that reliably stock it).
