Thai Chili Paste with Holy Basil Leaves
A fragrant, delicious mix of Thai chili paste and holy basil leaves leaves (called Grapao in Thai).
We used this to prepare a delicious holy basil chicken, see pictures below.
1/ Start by cutting vegetables of your choice, we used carrot and red bell pepper sliced using our Wave Knife, and snow peas.
2/ Submerge the vegetables in boiling water for 30 seconds.
3/ In a frying pan heat two tablespoons vegetable oil, add a bit of chopped garlic and sliced onion then add 1/2 pound of sliced chicken, stir until cooked.
4/ Add one heaping tablespoon of Chilli Paste with Holy Basil Leaves to the pan and mix well then finish by adding the vegetables and mix briefly before serving.
5/ Serve with steamed Thai Jasmine Rice
In addition to the recipe we created above, this product is versatile to use in many other ways. Add a few teaspoons to any vegetable or meat stir-fry, or add it to soup or anything else you can imagine, to create a simple, authentic Thai meal.

Chicken with Holy Basil Paste, 'Gai Pad Krapao'
Fresh holy basil leaves are very delicate and typically not possible to find in any markets outside of areas with tropical weather. Our chile paste with holy basil has become one of our most popular products though, as the holy basil flavor is prominent in this simple inexpensive product ready-made-for-stir-fry. Here we use it to make an authentic Gai Pad Grapao.

Below are testimonials received from customers about chili paste with holy basil leaves.
Carla, Batavia NY. Yum Yum Yum and thanx again!! my order was delivered today JUST before lunch; saltine crackers, tuna and fruit...HA! dumped a bunch of Holy Basil and garlic on and thru it in some Clear Soup!! I am in Heaven!
Brad, Midland TX. If you can't get Fresh Holy Basil for a dish like Chicken with Green Chili and Holy Basil, the Por Kwan Chili Paste with Holy Basil Leaves makes for a great substitute for the chilis and Holy Basil leaves. I acheived better than expected results using this, and my guests were wowed. The way your order is packed is excellent. By the way, the customer service I got whem I called was very informative and friendly.
Michelle, Leonardo NJ. I received the street-vendor wok (14") that I ordered and I absolutely love it! I was a little scared of it at first---I thought it would be smaller but it fits on my stove perfectly and I am addicted to it. The spatula you recommended is also great. I am also addicted to your chili paste with holy basil . I appreciate that you list all of the ingredients, I am a strict vegetarian so it helps to know what is in the sauces and pastes. Many thanks and looking forward to my next order!
