I hear Bangkok now even has restaurants specializing in phad krapow moo sap. 'Phad' means stir-fried, 'krapow' is holy basil, 'moo' is pork, and 'sap' means minced - so what should I call this breakfast, which swaps the pork and holy basil for tofu and perilla leaves?
1. Phad perilla leaf tofu sap
2. Phad krapow moo sap made with tofu and perilla leaves
3. Whatever I feel like calling it

Ingredients

Steps
- 01
Microwave 1/2 block firm tofu for 2 minutes. Drain the water and crumble by hand.
- 02
Heat 2 tsp vegetable oil in a pan, stir-fry the tofu from step 1, then add 1 tsp Thai basil seasoning paste and stir-fry a bit longer.
- 03
Add 1 tbsp black soy sauce and chopped perilla leaves to step 2 and stir-fry a bit more.
- 04
In another pan, heat plenty of oil and fry 1 egg sunny-side up. (The key to the egg that tops phad krapow moo sap is frying it in plenty of oil, almost deep-fried.)
- 05
Plate the tofu from step 2 and top with the egg from step 4.
