Pad Kaprow with tofu, Thai basil and fragrant rice
Pad Kaprow - a classic Thai street food dish. Our Thai chef, Sourya, offers a vegan version made with tofu, where tender and silky tofu is stir-fried in a wok with garlic, chilli, soy sauce and the unique flavour of holy basil. Served with delicately fragrant jasmine rice for the perfect balance between intensity and sweetness.
