Pad krapow is Bangkok's everyday office-lunch hero: minced pork, chicken or beef stir-fried with garlic, bird's-eye chilli and holy basil over jasmine rice, topped with a sunny-side-up fried egg.
Pad krapow's lineage runs through Chinese-Thai wok cookery brought from Yaowarat into Thai home kitchens by the early 20th century. The use of krapow (Thai holy basil, not Italian or sweet basil) distinguishes it as Thai rather than southern Chinese; the egg topping was added in the 1950s and the dish became the canonical Bangkok lunch by the 1970s. Pad krapow is now sold from every shophouse rice-and-curry counter in the city for under 100 baht, with chicken (gai), pork (moo) or seafood variants.
