WFH Food Edition!! - Macaroni Thai Basil (Pork)

Macaroni Thai Basil Pork

Everyone spends a lots of time at home especially works from home (WFH) which became a new normal for office workers now. Some found a new hobby or even learn some skill that they did not imagine that they would before Covid-19.

So I would like to take this opportunity to share my WFH food edition with you. Suddenly, It turns out to be one of my favorite dishes to cook.

It is called Macaroni Thai Basil Pork which is a fusion of Thai and Italian. This menu was accidentally found because I forgot to buy rice and I just have macaroni left in my pantry so why not! Surprisingly, It turns out to be a very good combination.

Thai pork basil stir fried in Thai is called Pad-Kha-Proaw. It is one of the well-known Thai dishes around the world and a common food for Thai people, from street food to high-end restaurant.

Here, I would like to share the recipe and how to make Macaroni Thai Basil Pork. Feel free to try it out. Also, if anyone of you did, you can share your feedback in the comments below.
