Mr Moo Sausage Pad Krapow
Phuket's favourite quick meal, made with a Really Good twist. Swapping minced pork for our handmade sausages gives pad krapow a deeper, herby flavour — all the holy-basil hit you love, with sausages that are already seasoned to do half the work for you.
Serves 2 · Ready in 15 minutes
What you'll need
- 1 pack Italian Pork Hot Sausages (or English Pork for milder),
- 3–4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2–4 Thai chillies, to taste
- 1 big handful of basil (bai krapow)
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp light soy, 1 tsp dark soy, a pinch of sugar
- Steamed jasmine rice
- 1–2 eggs for a crispy fried egg on top (kai dao)
Method
- Prep the sausage. Squeeze the meat out of the casings (or slice thick) so it cooks like a coarse mince.
- Pound the garlic and chilli to a rough paste — or just chop them fine.
- High heat, hot oil. Fry the garlic and chilli for a few seconds, then add the sausage meat and break it up. Cook until browned and a little crispy at the edges — the Italian sausage's fennel and paprika are gold here.
- Sauce. Add the oyster sauce, both soys and the sugar, with a splash of water to loosen.
- Basil. Off the heat, fold through a big handful of holy basil until just wilted.
- Serve over jasmine rice with a crispy fried egg on top.
Tip: the sausages are already salted and seasoned, so go easy on the soy and taste as you go.
