Pork Thai Red Curry Ingredients

Pork Thai Red Curry Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
• 2-3 tbsp Thai Red Curry Paste (adjust to taste)
• 400g Pork Loin (thinly sliced)
• 1 can (400ml) Coconut Milk
• 1/2 cup Chicken Stock
• 2 Kaffir Lime Leaves (torn into pieces)
• 1 tbsp Fish Sauce (or soy sauce as a substitute)
• 1 tbsp Brown Sugar
• 1 Red Bell Pepper (sliced)
• 1 Green Bell Pepper (sliced)
• 1 cup Bamboo Shoots (canned, drained)
• 1/2 cup Thai Basil Leaves
• 1 tbsp Lime Juice (freshly squeezed)
• Fresh Red Chilies (optional, for garnish)
• Cooked Jasmine Rice (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pork: Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add the pork slices and sauté until the pork is browned but not fully cooked through. Remove the pork and set aside.

2. Cook the Curry Paste: In the same pan, add the red curry paste and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant and the oil starts to separate.

3. Add Coconut Milk and Stock: Pour in the coconut milk and chicken stock, stirring to combine. Add the torn kaffir lime leaves for extra fragrance.

4. Simmer and Add Pork: Return the pork to the pan and let it simmer in the curry for 5 minutes.

5. Add Vegetables: Stir in the red and green bell peppers and bamboo shoots. Let the curry simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the pork is fully cooked.

6. Season the Curry: Stir in the fish sauce and brown sugar. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more fish sauce for saltiness or sugar for sweetness if needed.

7. Finish with Basil and Lime: Remove from heat and stir in the fresh Thai basil leaves and lime juice.

8. Serve: Ladle the red curry into bowls and garnish with fresh red chilies for a spicy kick if desired. Serve with steamed jasmine rice on the side.
