Basil leaves in this recipe make this dish unique in the scent and taste. Thai Basil or Holy Basil can be grown in tropical countries. But after Thai food restaurants and asian stores can be found everywhere, it's not so difficult to buy 'Bai Kra Prao'.
Phad Kra Prao Kai is an easy dish. Many Thais make this recipe as individual dish, just like Pad Thai. Original taste of this dish is salty, spicy and slightly sweet.
