Pad Kaphrao

This is a standard Thai street food dish. Became one of my favourites and have recently started cooking it again. A bit high on the sodium but I don't think the cals are over the top. If you like spicy asian food give this one a go, only takes 15 minutes to prepare:

15-20 Basil leaves (take stems out) Use Thai basil if you can get it otherwise sweet basil can work
5 cloves garlic finely chopped
5-10 Thai chilli’s Obviously to your tase and tolerance
125g fine green beans, chopped fine
500g lean mince pork
2 table spoons fish sauce
3 table spoons oyster sauce
1½ table spoons cooking oil
pinch of sugar

Add the oil to a pan on a high heat.
Wait until the oil has heated up, then add the chilli’s & garlic to the pan, stir for roughly 10 seconds.
Add the minced pork and with a spatula, you want to really squash the chilli’s and garlic with the pork.
When the pork is nearly done, place the fine green beans in, also add the fish sauce, oyster sauce & a pinch of sugar. Stir for 2 mins.
Turn the heat off, and add the Thai or Sweet basil, stir for 5 seconds and serve with a nice fried egg on top

Love thai food. Will definitely try this!

Sounds great. You could probably serve it in lettuce cups or with other veggies to make it go further for less sodium like tomatoes or bean sprouts. Not traditional but that's ok I think
