The Ingredients needed to make Spicy Thai Basil Stir-fry (Pad Kapow):
  1. Prepare of Minced Meat/ Ground Meat- About 500g should be okay, any mince is fine I like using Pork
  2. You need of Lots of Garlic- Probably a whole head if thats what its called
  3. It’s of Chillis (I always use Birds Eye chillis)- Use as many as you like. You know what you can handle
  4. Prepare 1-2 sticks of Lemongrass- About
  5. Prepare of Holy or Thai Basil- A handful of the leaves
  6. Prepare 1 tbsp of Dark Soy Sauce
  7. Prepare 1 tbsp of Sugar
  8. You need 2 tbsp of Oil
  9. Prepare 2 tbsp of Light Soy Sauce-
Step to make Spicy Thai Basil Stir-fry (Pad Kapow):
  1. Start by peeling the head garlic. Its an annoying job and what I usually just do is crush it then the skin comes straight off, it doesnt really matter that were crushing it because were going to chop it anyway.
  2. Cut the stem off the chillis and roughing chop them up but not too finely.
  3. Cut the lemongrass in half and roughly chop that too.
  4. Combine the lemongrass, chilli and garlic and start mincing them all together until theyre all roughly the same size pieces, put it into a bowl and its time to cook!
  5. On medium heat pour your oil and add the mixture we minced earlier, dont fry too much just gently heat up until fragrant.
  6. Before everything starts crisping up and browning add the meat, turn the heat up to mid/high and begin stir-frying until the minced pork has cooked.
  7. Now its time to add everything else, pour the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, a spoon of sugar and keep stir-frying.
  8. Now depending on what kind of basil you bought this can go either way. If you bought the frozen basil put the cubes in and keep stir-frying until theyve defrosted and you can smell the basil-y aroma. If you have fresh basil which I recommend getting then turn off the heat and add your basil leaves no stems theyre way too firm and give it a little toss and youre done.
  9. Serve with rice and a fried egg and youre done!
