Colm O'Gorman's twist on a stirfry favourite — Thai Pork and 'Unholy' Basil
This is a very quick and easy dish to make. Serve it with plain rice and a stir-fried green on the side
Pad Kra Pao — Pork with Holy Basil — is one of my favourite Thai stir-fry dishes. As the name suggests, holy basil is the key ingredient in this dish. This Asian variety of basil has a fabulous aniseed or liquorice flavour with a hint of mint.
It is a fabulous herb but can be hard to source locally as a fresh herb here in Ireland. Larger Asian supermarkets will stock it, so I usually grab some whenever I visit one and make this dish.
