I gave Phat Kraphrao a shot. It’s a Thai dish of meat with basil. When I cooked it I used Calamari. You could use any meat. The recipe is from Austin Bush’s RealThai blog. He’s a great photographer/blogger and he’s recipes are really fantastic. All of the ingredients I bought from the Victoria Market. These ingredients aren’t difficult to get in Melbourne, but I have been disappointed in the past when Holy Basil was unavailable. I bought Calamari from Prosser’s, you pay a bit more there, but they do clean it for you.

Basically chuck everything in a wok and fry it quickly. The result is really tasty. I went for all the optional extras. I added some sugar and served the dish with a fried egg and some Prik naam plaa. My dinner companions were pleased. I’ll be adding this to my regular cooking list. Comfort food indeed!
