Healthy Phad Ga Prao with Chicken Breast
I love travelling in Southeast Asia, and I'm hooked on Thai cuisine! All of my family love it. I cook Thai curry or other Southeast Asian food at least twice a week, and long grain rice would be the best for those dishes. Try them because they are tasty in the different way from Japanese rice.
You may use ground chicken, but chopped chicken thigh would be tastier because it is flavourful with nicer texture. In Thailand, holy basil (Thai basil) is used for this dish, but you can use sweet basil instead. If possible, add kaffir lime leaves so the dish will have a more authentic taste.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Remove excess fat from the chicken and dice into 1 cm cubes. Tenderize the cubes with a knife. Add the seasonings marked ●, and rub well to season the chicken.
- 2
Slice the green and red or yellow bell peppers and onion into 5-6mm thin strips. Mince the garlic and ginger. Remove the seeds from the red chilli peppers.
- 3
Put the oil, garlic, ginger and red chilli pepper in a frying pan, then turn on the heat. If you heat the pan beforehand, these ingredients will burn!
- 4
When the garlic is cooked and aromatic, add the chicken breast.
- 5
When the chicken is cooked halfway, add the onion and bell peppers. Keep stir-frying.
- 6
Season with the sake, fish sauce, oyster sauce and sugar. If you don't like the fish sauce (or you don't have it), add soy sauce. That version is also tasty.
- 7
When the moisture in the pan is gone and the seasonings are absorbed into the ingredients evenly, tear off the basil leaves and add them in. Stir briefly, and it's done.
- 8
Put warm cooked rice in a mold and take it out to shape a mountain. Place the rice on a plate. Jasmin rice (Thai rice) is the best for this dish!

- 9
Fry an egg with generous amount of oil (not listed in ingredients), and place it on top of the dish. Cook until the egg white is crispy (this is the way they do it in Thailand).
- 10
Serve the rice with stir-fried chicken and basil. Top with the fried egg, lemon and basil. Enjoy.

Easy and Healthy Phad Ga Prao Easy and Healthy Phad Ga Prao
I wanted to eat my fill of my favorite phad ga prao at home so I made it!Make it healthy with chicken breast and tofu. Make sure you remove all the water from the tofu. If water comes out when cooking, remove all of it. Add flavor with powdered chicken stock. It's more delicious if you use fresh garlic and basil, but I used them in powdered form this time. Adjust the amounts of the ingredients to taste. Recipe by DBSWK

Café-style Phad Ga Prao (Thai rice dish) Café-style Phad Ga Prao (Thai rice dish)
Although I used to add a lot of ingredients to give the dish more color, I tried making it with just a few ingredients and it tasted just as good.I've been making it the simple way ever since. (I don't have Thai rice so I just make it with regular white rice. It's still tasty!)The carnivorous monster (my husband) loves this too.-I removed the skin from the chicken as I am not fond of it. (The chicken meat weighed 250 g without the skin.)-Red, yellow or green bell peppers will add appetizing colors and taste.-Don't heat it once the basil has been added in order to preserve its aroma.-If you like spicy food, adjust the amount of chilli (red hot pepper) to your liking. For 2 servings. Recipe by putimiko -

-Tofu is a substitute for the chicken, and the eggplant gives you the fatty meat texture. Use Japan's own herb shiso as a substitute for the basil! The real deal uses oyster sauce, but I made this version using Worcestershire-style sauce. Use Garlic Soy Saucefor an even more delicious flavor. Recipe by Yukoai_yukoi -
Easy Chicken Pad Thai Easy Chicken Pad Thai
Pad Thai is one of my favourite meals, but I never used to cook it myself, because I did not want to deal with the complications of a sauce(tamarind paste, oyster sauce etc.). So, drawing inspiration from several online recipes I came up with this easy recipe involving a store-bought sauce. Hope you'll like it!
