Its my take on a Thai classic.

This Thai classic uses clever ingredients to produce a flavor-packed dish in record time.

My version is super quick, easy, and adaptable.

Beef krapow is commonly served over a bed of jasmine rice with afried eggon top.

The rice soaks up all the extra sauce and flavors from the beef.

Ground chicken tends to be a bit too lean for my liking.

Add the shallots and garlic and toss until aromatic but not burnt, about 30 seconds.

Add the beef and break it up with a spatula.

Stir occasionally until browned, about 6 minutes.

Add the fish sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar.

Add the basil leaves and chilies.

Stir fry for 30 seconds.

Scoop the beef mixture with a slotted spoon over a bed of rice for serving, if using.

Add the eggs on top of the beef stir fry.

Adjust the amount of chili to your spice tolerance or omit completely if preferred.

If you cannot find Thai chili peppers, you might substitute with another spicy pepper of your choice.
