You've worked hard, you're so exhausted and can barely decide what to eat. The choice for many Thai's is 'pud grapow', one of the best-tasting and easy to cook dishes. Walk into nearly any restaurant in Thailand and you know the chef can make 'pud gaprow'. And your meal will be decent enough. When you down a pud ga prow you know have the energy for the next challenge.

Pud Gaprow comes in many shades and flavors. There are pud gaprow with chicken, pork, beef, and seafood. The latest popular pud gaprow is the thousand-year-old egg pud gaprow. Pud Gaprow is so versatile, so homey, so familiar and so loved. The heat level can hit anywhere from none to very high. The meat, rice and the cucumber make the dish a complete meal with proteins, carbs and veggie. Why isn't Pud Gaprow more famous than "Pad Thai'?

Tips and Techniques

  • You can adjust the heat level; use as many chili peppers as you'd like. When I make this dish for children, I omit the chili peppers.
  • In Thai restaurants in the US, unfortunately, sweet basil or Thai basil is usually used for this dish. It is not quite the same. Ask the chef for holy basil.
  • Many farmers markets now have holy basil. Some Asian markets also get them all year round from Hawaii.
  • I noticed that holy basil that is grown outside has a stronger flavor than the one that is grown in the greenhouse. 
  • Holy basil doesn’t stay fresh (or green) long in the refrigerator. So use the basil as soon as you can. However, if it starts to get freezer burn, it can still be used.
