Kraprao Pla Muek
(กระเพราปลาหมึก)

The much-loved pat krapao – crowned theworld’sbeststir-fry in 2023 —can be enjoyed with virtually any type of protein, not just chicken or pork. This version which involves tender squid, gives each bite a briny lift. The squid is tossed quickly over high heat with garlic, Thai basil, and bird’s-eye chilies until fragrant, then finished with a splash of fish sauce. Best served over steaming jasmine rice with a crisp fried egg on top, it’s quick, affordable, and most importantly, delicious comfort food with a kick.
