Gai Pad Prik Gaeng (ไก่ผัดพริกแกง) – Chicken w/ Chili Curry Paste
In addition to Thai basil chicken, gai pad prik gaeng (ไก่ผัดพริกแกง) or chicken stir fried with chili curry paste and long beans, is one of the most popular Thai $1 meals.
Often the dish includes aromatic kaffir lime leaves which adds a wonderful lemony dimension to the sweet and spicy chili sauce.
