“Just made this. Super yummy! I served it without the fried eggs (in a house without dishwashers, every dirty skillet counts), and I added about a 1/4 teaspoon of Thai red chili paste along with the chilis/shallots/garlic. Also, couldn't find ground chicken so ” — a cook
“Should one buy ground chicken? Or grind it at home? I love pad krapow and I'd love to learn to make it at home, now that I've moved away from the bevy of great Thai places I used to live near. Something about the idea of chicken ground at the grocery store jus” — a cook
