Thai spicy basil, or pad krapow, is a classic dish beloved by many. The aromatic dish is infused with Thai basil, garlic, and chilies and has the kind of sauce that keeps you coming back, bite after bite! Chef Pimnapat's Thai spicy basil sauce pairs well with any protein, but in this version it's stir-fried with ground chicken and crunchy green beans, and served with steamed jasmine rice with a sunny side up egg on top.

It came out gooey. The sauce or fluid in the dish has the same consistency of saliva. Not sure if it was meant to look like that. Wouldn't recommend.
As some say, cooking is loving, which is definitely true for Chef Pimnapat Chancharoen. She was born in Thailand, a paradise for food lovers, and went to school for mechanical engineering. She had dreams of becoming a pilot, but ended up becoming a chef because her cooking made so many people happy. Chancharoen is inspired by Korean, Japanese, Cuban and Taiwanese cuisines, and her unique style reflects this vibrant mix of flavors. She started her own food truck in 2018 and opened a ghost kitchen for takeout and delivery in 2021.
