I love Thai food. I love the sweet, spicy, salty, sour flavours that make it what it is, and in the circumstances, a quick and easy dish it had to be! Come in PAD KRA PAO GAI (THAI CHILLI BASIL CHICKEN)!
This is a classic, fast-paced Thai stir-fry dish made with minced or small diced chicken pieces, garlic, red chili peppers, and a generous handful of aromatic Thai basil. Served on a bed of rice and topped off with a fried egg. It took about 15 minutes to rustle up – just what we needed this week and it ended up being our last meal at home before taking our daughter up.
Thanks to Clare @thecultiveater for being the host with the most and @ma_ndy1905 for co-piloting beautifully too! Can’t wait to find out where we’re going next … hopefully a much calmer month! 🙏

Ohhhh hugs, Anna, I feel so much of your post today. Sounds like a new chapter for your family (Sending my son to infant school for several hours two days a week, and I already miss him😂)💛 And how cooking could be such a sanctuary (though days are messy and crazy🤣)...! Love love Thai dishes, and this sounds super - I love how basils flavor so differently and delightful in Thai recipes!

I remember the first drop off for ours as well, big hugs ❤️ they always come back (usually with washing, a food shop request, bulk home cooked food to take back etc)! So enjoy the quiet moments, they don’t last long! 😂

This looks delicious Anna, I can see why it’s been so popular and I mentioned in the group but I love that each version of this used a different protein… such a versatile dish! I’ve loved seeing you get your daughter ready and cooking some student friendly meals together! Speaking as someone who was where you are a few years ago, we very quickly adjusted to the new normal! It’s lovely when they come to visit (the younger one finished uni now and lives with his partner) and you’ll have the uni holidays to ease you in, but hopefully you’ll find live is as full and rewarding as ever 🥰 I still haven’t learned to cook for our reduced numbers though and definitely need to get better at labelling the leftovers in the freezer 😂❤️
