Hello hi everyone! Wesley here. Today we’re diving back into the wonderful world of Thai street food with a pad gra prow inspired by the Hangover Part 2 Bangkok street food night market scene. Most commonly, these street food dishes are associated with the drinking culture that is commonplace in Bangkok, and are usually purchased from stalls coming right out of the wok after a night of heavy drinking, then eaten outside on the street while you (hopefully) sober up a bit. For those following along, we have done a handful of noodle dishes originating from Thai street food already, and have also touched on the similar cultures of Taiwanese street food, korean street food, AND hong kong street food. 

More specifically today we’ll be cooking up a Thai stir fry known as pad gra prow which, for those not familiar, is a stir fry that prominently features a minced meat, stir fried with veggies (today we’ll be using green beans), and then tossed in two iconically Thai aromatics, some Thai chiles and Holy basil. Then we’ll be tossing that in a rich dark soy sauce and fish sauce base, and finally, rounding everything out with a lacy wok fried egg, for a classic Thai finishing touch. Hope you try it.

It will be out on Friday September 24, 2021, so bookmark the recipe here, and be sure to subscribe and hit the bell on YouTube to get notified when it’s out!

Woo Can Cook is a series where we reproduce fun foods and recipes from my childhood. Some of them are authentically Chinese and/or pan-Asian, but a lot of them are odd Americanized versions that I inherited from my parents and grandparents while growing up in the Bay Area/California.

We're live streaming every Tues/Thurs at 6:30PM PST, with new recipes out every Friday!
