Why choose Pad krapow Gai?

Pad krapow Gai delights with the combination of Thai basil, chilli and lime. The dish is not only delicious but also healthy: it is dairy-free and gluten-free, and rich in protein. Minced chicken keeps the dish light while the vegetables add nutritional value and colour. It’s an ideal choice when you want a tasty, wholesome meal.

Tips and variations

Pad krapow Gai cooks quickly, so it’s perfect when time is limited. You can cook the rice in advance to save time. For variation, replace the minced chicken with tofu to make a vegetarian version. Take care not to overcook the eggs if you prefer them runny.

Best served fresh

Pad krapow Gai is at its best when served immediately after cooking. Complement the dish with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables. A cold glass of water or lemon-flavoured iced tea pairs well. Serve either family-style in a large bowl or portion onto plates.
