Pad krapow
This classic Thai stir fry is made with plenty of Thai basil, spiced minced pork and is full of the signature fragrant flavours of Thai food. Topped with a crispy fried Freshlay Farms Golden Yolker®, this is a stir-fry you won’t forget. For pad krapow, usually holy basil would be used, but it’s not widely available in the UK.
