It may sound like a comic book sound effect, but Pad Krapow is just a classic Thai dish! We've toned down the garlic and subbed out the chilli for red bell pepper, and used spinach rather than the original basil. And it's REALLY tasty and REALLY quick dinner!

Directions

1. Boil the rice following directions on packet.

2. Finely chop the garlic. Clean and rinse the bell pepper and cut it into thin strips. Flash fry garlic and pepper with a bit of olive oil for a few minutes in a wok or deep pan. Add pork and let cook until pork is starting to brown.

3. Add soy, oyster sauce, fish sauce, water and a dash of honey. Taste, and if needed add a bit more of this or that. Rinse the spinach well and throw it in the mix. Bring back up to heat and stir continuously until spinach is wilted.

4. Crack the eggs into a pan with a bit of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and cook as fried eggs.

5. Serve with piping hot rice, fried egg on top and a bit of sweet chilli sauce, if you have any handy.

6. Enjoy!
