That’s why I decided to create a new recipe using this fishy friend. Ingredients Salmon (fresh, skin-on, but frozen also works great!) Salt Black pepper Olive oil Garlic Shallots Ginger Brown sugar Honey Thai red curry paste Coconut milk Fish sauce Half a lime (for the juice) Holy basil (or substitute for regular basil with a touch of anise powder) Cooking plan If you are using fresh salmon, season with salt and pepper then cook it on its skin with olive oil until golden brown.https://paulstapel.com/recipes/pad-kra-pao/Thu, 10 Jul 2025 21:30:46 +0200https://paulstapel.com/recipes/pad-kra-pao/This is one of my favorite recipes from the Thai kitchen. The combination of ground beef with the aromatics and delicious holy basil just hits different. I’m happy to share this recipe with you today. Ingredients Ground beef Holy basil leafs Black pepper Garlic Lemongrass (optional aromatic) Dried or fresh chilies Chicken stock Fish sauce Cooking oil Cilantro (optional) Lime (optional for garnish) Cooking plan Start by mincing or grinding the garlic, lemongrass and chilies (aromatics) into a paste Next, heat some oil in a wok (or pan) until smoking hot Stir-fry your ground beef until browned (so for about 3-4 minutes) Next, push aside your meat and add some more oil to cook your aromatics until fragrant and a little crispy.https://paulstapel.com/recipes/phanaeng/Fri, 02 May 2025 08:05:10 +0200https://paulstapel.com/recipes/phanaeng/I really love Thai food, but I’ve not been making much of it as of late.

While there, we ate a lot of very delicious food, and I have been recreating the things I ate there quite often. One thing that does bug me about doing this, however, is the fact that some of the ingredients can be quite troublesome to acquire. Not today however, as we will be making larb. The ingredients used for this are quite easy to come by in your local Asian supermarket or even just the grocery store.
