Ice Kitchen - Thai Chill Basil Stir Fry Paste

Thai Chilli Basil (Pad Kra Pao) Stir Fry is arguably the national dish of Thailand. We've made a simple dish even simpler by blending a unique mix of red chillies and aromatic garlic into a ready-to-cook paste. You'll still have to provide the basil, as this is best sourced fresh. Perfect for a traditional Pad Kra Pao, this versatile paste also works as the base for many stir fry dishes. Simply add your favourite protein, vegetables, and a splash of soy and oyster sauces for a quick, flavour-packed meal. And don't forget to top with a crispy fried egg!

- Freshly frozen for the most vibrant flavour
- 100% plant-based ingredients
- Perfectly portioned – no more half-used jars at the back of the fridge!

Ice Kitchen

Fresh flavour starts in the freezer. At Ice Kitchen, we make fresh-frozen cooking pastes for curries, stir-fries and marinades. We blend real ingredients - herbs, spices and aromatics - then freeze them immediately, so you get big, fresh flavour without the prep. No UPFs. No preservatives. No half-used jars at the back of the fridge. With your favourite protein and veg, you can cook a proper meal in minutes. Why frozen? Because fresh flavour doesn’t belong sealed in a jar for months. Fresh herbs, chillies, garlic, ginger and aromatics are at their best when they taste bright and vibrant. Freezing lets us protect that flavour without relying on preservatives or heavy processing. That is why Ice Kitchen lives in the freezer.
