Method

How to make Pad Krapow Ped

In a pestle and mortar, pound the chillies, garlic and salt together into a rough paste, and set aside.

Now mix the soy sauces, nam pla and water together in a small bowl, and stir in the sugar. (This is a short cut to speed things up at the wok.

Heat the oil in a wok until its really hot. Throw in the chilli-garlic paste and stir-fry for a few seconds until you can smell everything in the pan, but not long enough to colour the garlic. Add the duck and stir-fry until cooked through.

Add the liquid and stir through, allowing it to bubble up before adding the basil and wilting into the dish.

Serve over steamed jasmine rice.
