Thai Basil Chicken (Pad Kra Pao) in Jimmy’s Kitchen + Jimmy’s Garden Tour
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
We're BACK in Jimmy’s Kitchen! Today we’re making Thai Chicken with Holy Basil or Pad Kra Pao, one of my favorite dishes of all time. And it’s super easy to make! I’m also taking you on a little tour of my garden to pick some fresh thai chilies in this very exciting new episode of Jimmys kitchen.
In the upcoming episodes, I’ll be cooking with friends! Can’t wait for you to see me cook with Harry Shum Jr in the next one :)
Also my new movie "Love Hard" is on Netflix now! A super rom com featuring Nina Dobrev, Darren Barnet, and Harry Shum Jr!
Leave suggestions in the comments for the next cooking video or mukbang!

How is this low budget
I’m Thai. I like Jimmy and I like how Jimmy preparing Pad Kra Pao it’s almost perfect except one little thing; that basil is called ‘Ho Ra Pa’ not ‘Kra Pao’. Usually, we use Ho Ra Pa in red curry. So technically, this dish should be called Pad Ho Ra pa, lol( Pad is stir frying in Thai word). But everything else is perfect. I like the dipping sauce part.

The confusion between Ho Ra Pa and basil is real, but probably not as bad as my friend (a Thai who lives in Thailand whole life) who just look up to me and ask “Does we used Ho Ra Pa or Sa Ra Nae in Kra Pao?” Most painful moment of my life to realize what a derp grew up with.

The thai basil is supposed to be “holy basil, aka bai kra pao”. Too hard to find so you use regular basil instead “ho ra pa”.

Yeah I noticed that too but I guess Kra-Prao is harder to find than Horapa maybe? but people who dont buy or cook regularly can be easily confused. When I was abroad (UK) I substituted Kra-prao with normal Italian basil I think it taste more similar to real Kra-Prao than Horapa :) Anyway the rest of his recipe including crispy fried egg was very legit!

I really enjoyed you in Lovehard!! The Baby it’s Cold Outside reprise was my favorite scene :) Lovely to see you cooking as well! I’m a vegetarian myself, so I’ll substitute a not-meat alternative. It’s so cute to see you walking around your garden and showing off your plants, cause you’re just like my dad that way…it makes it clear how much pride and work you put into taking care of them. Very wholesome.

Wow Jimmy! God has blessed you with many different talents, from acting, to comedy, to cooking. I wonder which one you'll use to glorify Him. Of course, we fans reap the benefits. Thank-you so much.
It's super cool that you have a backyard garden to use for your cooking! By the way, if you recorded this video around the time this premiered, it's likely that your tomatoes aren't fruiting because it's going to dormant in the winter and might just completely die off on its own, unfortunately. If not, it just looked like it was putting too much energy out making leaves, and sometimes you gotta prune some branches off plants to trick them into creating more flowers/fruits. Also, regarding the Thai Basil plant you said you had trouble planting, the trick is when the plant grows about 7 inches or so, you need to snip an inch off the main branch before it flowers, and it tricks the plant into creating a bigger, bushier Thai basil plant with larger leaves.
as a Thai fan, i approved of this recipe. although, if you add a squeeze of lime into your chili/fish sauce mixture, it will taste even better !

I didn't know Jimmy can cook... like, really good. That makes him 50% hotter. I think everyone is waiting for him to open a restaurant. Maybe it can be called the J.O.Y. Luck Restaurant :)
I watched with my Thai gf who grew up in a Thai restaurant and ngl we were waiting for you to do something wrong cause all people on KZread cook Thai food wrong but you DIDN’T!!! Even adding the basil in at the end with the heat off! Not many people know that (or so I’m told). Go Jimmy! Loved the video and we know that musta tasted good!

I was pleasantly surprised with Love Hard. I usually prefer watching action or psychological thrillers over rom-coms, but my cousin forced our family to watch it when we couldn't decide what to watch. Even though the film was predictable (i.e. it's easy to figure out who will end up with who based on the trailer), it was such a fun film to watch. It even got my brother, who absolutely loathes rom-coms, to laugh a few times throughout the film. I think Love Hard may be his favorite rom-com, only because he's never liked any other. Good job, you've unlocked 'Asian Brother Approved' for Love Hard!
I just watched Jimmy in Love Hard on Netflix and a friend told me he had a comedy KZread channel. So of course I popped on to see. What a delight to see he has cooking videos too! I'll have to try this out on my cooking channel, it looks delicious and right up my alley. Yum! Great video!
Give this man a cooking show! I honestly think he deserves it. He's clearly passionate and committed.
Dude. Weird but I actually like how clear you are about what you're doing & how reassuring you are when you cook but can also be silly and crack a joke at the same time. 🤣🔥 Bruhhhhhh 10/10
Lol I love how you dont waste anything. And you have an outdoor cooking area. So relatable. Thank you!
Yes! He’s back! Love jimmy’s cooking
This is so fun to watch! Initially, when Jimmy started to do these cooking videos on his channel during the pandemic, I thought it was for a joke. I didn't know he actually wanted to start cooking content! And I'm so pleasantly surprised by how long he's stuck by it! He's clearly passionate about cooking, and I really love the fact that that this is the main content people are waiting for on his channel. Way to go, Jimmy!
"Love Hard" is an amazing show. I've watched it four times so far. It's just so uplifting! Much needed this year! Thank you for you! I'm a fan, Jimmy! Well done you! And who knew you can also cook? And make it fun and easy? You seem like such a nice guy.... the world needs more people like you. Thank you for sharing your gifts and talents with us.
Died laughing when he ripped the chili pepper branch off 🤣 I love Jimmy O 🥰

Thanks for the cooking video recipe & garden tour. I love your bush. Very nice 👍🏼 Food looks delish!!
Glad to see you got it right on point with the crispy edge fried egg, just like how we serve it here in Thailand, which many KZread cooks unfortunately confused it with the Western sunny side up ones and destroyed the dish's charm. Good on you, Jimmy 👍😊
I love your real, actually used kitchen and that you are the one cooking in it. Funny and educational...frying pan. 😂
I love how simple the recipe is. Would try it even I don’t enjoy cooking all the time. It’s fun to watch you cook😍
Welcome back! I gotta say, I LOVED Lovehard. Probably my top Christmas movie, one that'll be rewatched every year. Huge tear jerker. You're an inspiration man!
Love 'Love Hard'! And great cooking show! I am going to try out your recipes for the first time this weekend
I saw your "love hard" movie the other day. So wholesome, just like your cooking!!
Just made this delicious recipe. Another one to add to our repertoire. Yum 😋 thanks for filming it and making it fun❤️
I love your cooking show. You're obviously very talented and enthusiastic about cooking, have great commentary the whole time, and don't hide when things go slightly wrong like the yolk breaking. The best cooking shows inspire people to cook, and you do that.
This is so fun to watch and I bet it tastes great too. I can't stop watching Jimmy or Love Hard! Seriously I have probably watched it like 15 times and now I watch it when I go to bed. So cute!
I'm Thai and I would like to say that your Pad Ka Prao looks amazing and almost authentic. Your fried egg is spot-on.
You are an instant star in everything you do. Thanks for being you, Jimmy.
I’m doing this Jimmy! Watched yesterday, got the ingredient and gonna rewatch while cooking! Looking forward to watching your other cooking vids!
I've seen “Love Hard” and I have to say, it’s the most entertaining and funniest movie yet. I love it so much the actings were natural that what made it so good. I laughed hard the whole movie. I needed that, thank you!!!
Don't worry about your pepper plant! Pruning encourages new growth and it's good prune it down to encourage it to grow into a bush shape instead of a spindly tall tree shape that can't hold the weight of the fruit.
love this!Be happy and take care, Jim.Love the garden too🥰
Made this at home last night, absolute fire! Thanks for the channel Jimmy! Keep em coming!

Dude, I love your style of cooking; not needlessly complex and with great general knowledge of food and ingredients. I've learned quite a few tips, tricks, and techniques from your videos, so big thank you for that!
You’re funny, you cook and you have a garden with flowers and vegetables. I feel like such an underachiever, lol. I recently found you & your comedy on KZread. I guess I’ve been living under a rock, wish I found you sooner. Looking forward to checking out more of your work. 🌻

I'm a born and raised Thai and Jimmy O Yang knows what he's doing, down to the way we fry eggs. I'm a little bit conflicted about the long beans though. (There's a whole movement in Thailand against long beans in Pad Kra Pao.)

Jimmy, I just made the decision to stay up and make this tonight. Finished at 1am and have been savoring/eating for the last hour. Absolutely delicious!!!
That is exactly how Thai people eat Pad Ka Prao. Sunny side up egg on top of the finished plate. Great Job, Jimmy! Note: If you can find real Ka Prao basil (Google says it is called Holy basil), it will taste even better. But it is so hard to find.
That garden is awesome! I like how you just went with the egg with the cracked yolk. 😃
Jimmy, love this cooking show. 😋 . Love your role as Josh Lin in Love Hard too. Hope to see more of your work in the future.👍
So great to show us the camera man and give him a taste, he's so cute! That's what cooking is all about, sharing the love 🥰
Loved Love Hard Jimmy! Really authentic down to rendering the bit of fat from the chicken breast (when you didn’t get the thigh), and recommending the better Lee Kum Kee oyster sauce. And adding that crispy fried egg that’s not just a sunny side up egg. Enjoy your meal! R
Thanks for posting! This is one of those dishes where everyone can put their own twist on it. I think the key is the Thai basil…which has a really nice pepper flavor compared to Italian basil.
Ahh the happy dance at the end. That's how you know the food is so good: it's so good, words just doesn't do it justice. 🇹🇭🐔🐓🌿🥰🥰🥰
Jimmy!!! It’s such a shame! Just 2 months ago, I had a huge basil bush that went waste because it died as winter came. I wish i could make this dish with my basil. Your dish looked absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing❤️

Can you next make a dish with Sichuan peppers? I've been in love with them ever since I had tasted them a couple years ago. The Sichuan peppers were part of a dish comprising of fried squid and fried (dried) chili peppers.
man i’d give anything to get lunch with this guy. he’s literally such a vibe
As a Thai, this is legit. Not kidding. Even the way you fried egg is like correct. If any of you want to make this dish in a real local way, should def follow this guy!!
Thai Basil Chicken is my favorite Thai dish. 3 of my favorite Thai restaurants closed during covid, so this was a true blessing for me. Jimmy this recipe is fire. I told my Aunt about the oyster sauce you recommend and she loves it.
Can this be turn into a cooking show and eventual restaurant franchise called Jimmy’s kitchen please. Would travel to the states to dine in.
I made this today and it was so delicious I made a second batch and ate it too! Damn... 😀
love Jimmy's voice and how you cook! the egg looks amazing btw!
I just made this! It was awesome. Thanks for the instruction 😊
I don't think that even "Kra-pao" here. Holy basil = kra-pao, Thai basil = ho-rha-pha and here is the later one for sure. Nothing terribly wrong about how you do it (and occasionally - more like rarely, since holy basil is much much MUCH better - we have some Pad-ho-rha-pha), it just not the right leaves. BTW a bit more details in that chili fish sauce (Nampla-prik) would make it much better - slices of garlic (if you like shallots - this would be a great fit also), pinches of sugar, a splash of lime would make a great Nampla-prik.
I believe your version is very delicious as well, but the basil you used here was not actually “Kra prow”. Kra prow is Hot Basil & I believe you can find them in any Thai grocery market. The basil you used is called “Ho-ra-pa”, or sweet basil which is widely used in many Thai coconut milk curries. Just a little fun facts, but enjoy however you like 🥰 BTW, very impressive herbs garden, especially the Thai chillies! And the sauces… you nailed them! The Holy Trinity in all Thai stir fried dishes! 😉

Just finished watching Love Hard (loved it) and immediately came to KZread for interviews so i could see more of you. Cherry on top that you have cooking videos!
I love that garden!!! I grew a few modest Siam Queen basil plants from seed over the summer, and made this dish a few times because it really highlights the herby flavor rather than just using it as a garnish or in a soup. I tried growing chilies too, but some bad luck wiped out most of my gardening exploits. Hot chilies are nice since if you have too many, they can be dried! Ah, to have fresh-picked spicy condiments anytime~
4:39 You have to get the correct fertilizer. Some fertilizers promote plant growth. Other fertilizers enhance fruit growth. The dish looks great! Thanks.
Looks delicious, should teach Jamie Oliver to cook this dish. Approve by Uncle Roger definitely.😊
Always love you, Jimmy! You are such a fun person!
