Authentic Thai Recipe for Krapow Moo Kai Dow | ผัดกระเพราหมู | Basil Chili Stir Fry w/ Ground Pork

If you have been lucky enough to visit Thailand and had this while you were here, then you know that nothing beats Pad Krapow, except maybe Pad Krapow Kai Dow (served with a fried egg). It's actually quite easy to make, and now you can try it at home with this restaurant perfected recipe from our Thai food eatery in Chiang Mai.
