Thai Chicken Fried Rice with Basil - Kao Pad Krapao

Excellent recipe. Extremely easy to make - in fact, this was all I made for dinner. Wonderful aroma while cooking, and a great flavor. I actually used aborito rice because that's all I had, but I cooked it as rice and not risotto. Wonderful! Thanks, Sue!

This is KraPOW! A bit too spicy, so I'll cut the chilis in half next time. I only had reduced sodium soy sauce so it needed salt. But, Very good! Will definitely make this again. I think it would be great with shrimp too!
Update: I make this frequently with leftover rice. The full sodium soy sauce is a must, and I made it with shrimp this week and it was awesome!

Even though I made some changes, this still came out great! I used leftover cooked pork instead of chicken and scallions rather than shallots. Also added some corn as well. Very adaptable recipe!

This recipe is very versatile and works great even with substitutions. Things I did to this recipe:
I used, leftover chicken, shrimp, chopped steamed veggies, added a touch of oyster sauce, and peanut oil, used rice noodles instead of rice. Took out the spice for kids.
Served cold for pack lunches for my kids. I got rave reviews, they loved it eating it with the pair of chopsticks in each bag.

Remarkably delicious - I made a few subs, but I found the key things were frying the garlic in oil, and the 1:1:1 ratio of soy sauce:fish sauce:sugar. (I was skeptical about adding so much sugar, but I'm glad I did.) I don't have fresh basil, so after a few secs of frying the garlic, I added a few dashes of dried basil to the oil as well. I used rice vermicelli instead of rice, and added a bunch of frozen spinach. Overall very quick and good meal!

I made a double batch of this because I had a lot of leftover grilled chicken thighs to use. I diced it in about the same size as the rest of the ingredients so it was in small cubes. I also used 1 red bell pepper, and a jalapeno instead of a Thai chili. With Thai basil and cilantro from my garden, and extra lime juice, it was very good. My BF proclaimed me the stir-fry master. I think I'll try it with tofu too. Thanks for the recipe.

This was really good. My changes were to substitute minced fresh pineapple instead of sugar for the sweetness factor. I also boiled my basmati rice in white wine/chicken stock. Very flavorful. Definitely will be making again as a different version of regular old fried rice. Thank You

Great recipe. I added a tablespoon of fresh minced ginger. It gave the rice an even better flavor

Very tasty recipe that is so adaptable! Used jasmine rice, oyster sauce instead of fish sauce, and crushed red pepper instead of the chopped pepper. Also, I added sliced red bell pepper, grated carrots, fried egg, and spicy red pepper paste. This recipe was a great jumping off point for the dish I ended up making--thanks so much!

Yum!!! I've never had the original dish so I'm not sure how authenitic mine was, but I will make this again. I followed other reviews' advice and added a sqeeze of lime, more soy sauce, and scrambled eggs. I also left out the cilantro since my husband doesn't like it and added a good spinkle of chili powder since where I live we don't have the fresh chilis. I loved the fresh, fresh taste of basil! It is very different! Thanks for posting!

This is soooo yummy. Easy to prepare. I only but a little bit of chilli in since I'm a sook. I used palm sugar as well. Thanks for sharing. I'm looking foward to doing this one with prawns as well.

Very tasty! I added bean sprouts and guessed at the basil, cilantro and red pepper flakes but it turned out delicious!

I loved it. I didn't have fish sauce, but it was still very tasty. I kept going back for more. My DH must have had a big lunch (he does that and doesn't tell me). He said he liked it.
Thanks

I was excited to try this but was so disappointed! It turned out so salty it was nearly inedible. I have no idea what I did wrong. I will have to try again soon until I get this right :)
