Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g pork shoulder or pork loin, thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp red curry paste
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 200 ml chicken stock
- 2 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 3 lime leaves, torn
- 150 g sweet corn kernels
- 150 g peas (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 10 fresh basil leaves
- 1 red chili, thinly sliced (optional, for garnish)
- steamed jasmine rice (to serve)
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the red curry paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Pour in the coconut milk and stir until the curry paste is fully incorporated.
Add the lime leaves, fish sauce, and brown sugar, and mix well. Cook for another 2 minutes.
Add the sliced pork to the skillet and stir to coat the meat in the sauce. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is mostly cooked through.
Pour in the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the sweet corn and peas to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the pork is fully cooked.
Taste the curry and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more fish sauce or sugar.
Turn off the heat and stir in the fresh basil leaves.
Serve the curry hot, topped with sliced red chili (if using), alongside steamed jasmine rice.
