Flavorful and Quick Thai Basil Beef / Pad Kaprow
Like all Thai food lovers, Im obsessed. From Red to Green curry, Satay Panang to Khao Soi, Ive made and relished it all. When I heard of Pad Kaprow Gai or Pad Gra Pow, I was fascinated as Im a huge fan of Basil. I made this recipe followed by Pad Kaprow Goong also known as Thai Basil Shrimp, now it's Beef's turn! This dish compared to some of my other Thai dishes is very easy to put together and does not use a lot of ingredients.
