Strangely enough, I've settled on a final version of my meat-free pad kra pao before figuring out the meaty one. Life's funny sometimes! In any case, this recipe - an adaptation of Hot Thai Kitchen's recipe - was a win on the first try. (My spouse didn't even realize there wasn't any meat in it!) If you don't like TVP, no worries, there'll be a meat version posted eventually, probably once my basil grows back.
