Thai fooooood** GAPAO


GAPAO means basil in Thai. Learned very simple way to cook :-D
Ingredients: ground chicken, two different color of peppers, basil, egg, nam pla(fish sauce), Oyster sauce, ginger, rice and oil.

Put one spoon of salad oil and minced ginger, turn heat and cook untill smell.

Add ground chicken and cook well untill color turned. In the mean time, cut peppers into one bite and add into the pan.
Tear fresh basil by hand. Tip is 'hand'. If you cut by scissors or knife, basil's green color will turn to black. Season with nam pla sauce, oyster sauce, salt& pepper and see how it tasts. Add more if it's not enough.

In another pan, heat salad oil and bake egg. Add about 100ml of water and cover a lid untill make white part crispy and side-sunny up.
Serve steamed rice, gapao chicken and egg on top of that. Garnish with fresh basil or other kind of mint. Mix egg, chicken and rice well before eat!
