Sauvignon Blanc
This Gai Pad Krapow recipe has strong spicy sweet flavors. The fish sauce produces saltiness, the peppers bring the heat and the basil enhances the chicken. Given the complexity of flavors, it’s best to find a good dry Sauvignon Blanc. The wine will add a little citrus, is served chilled and the perfect accompaniment to a spicy sweet dish.
