Fried pork with basil leaves (Pad Ka Prao Moo)



The photo is my dinner this evening, it's really OK!!! I took 10 minutes for cooking, it's very easy in my opinion. Pad Ka Prao Moo is very simple menu in Thailand, almost of us think of this menu when we want to order something to have in limited time such as at lunch. I like this menu because it's hot and spicy from basil leaves and chillies. But if u don't, chillies should be reduced.
