Pad krapow gai, also known as Thai basil chicken is one of the easiest, healthy meals you can rustle up in your kitchen. It is just as nice as the pork version, pad krapow moo which I make regularly too. 

I usually use chicken breast, which I mince up in no time at all. Chicken breast is great cos it's is nice, lean and soft. The chicken is cooked along with fish sauce, oyster sauce, bird's eye chilli and brown sugar, and I also add a dash of dark caramel sauce to give it some colour. Don't forget to toss in a large handful of holy basil leaf (or you can use Thai basil if you can't get the former) for that distinctive, fragrant aroma and flavour. Serve with a nice crispy egg, rice and cucumber slices for a complete meal!
