After an eventful weekend back home involving running down mountains in a thunderstorm, getting wasps in places where wasps definitely shouldn’t be and spending some quality time with friends at weddings and indoor BBQs, it was time to cook up a simple and quick Thai dish when I got back to Yorkshire. This quick street food dish needs just 6 ingredients…
For two portions use:
- 200g lean pork, sliced thinly
- a handful of green beans, cut in half
- 50g of red curry paste (Mae Ploy is a good one if you can get it)
- a big splash of Nam Pla (Thai fish sauce)
- a pinch of sugar
- about 6 kaffir lime leaves (Sainsburys sell them fresh, use lime zest otherwise), ripped up
- Vegetable oil for frying (and no I’m not counting this as an ingredient!)
Heat a splash of oil in a wok, when it’s hot, add the curry paste, stir fry for around 30 seconds- it should be smelling really pungent. Add in the pork and stir fry for 3 minutes until it’s almost cooked. Throw in the beans, cook for another minute before adding the fish sauce, sugar and lime leaves- and that’s it. Serve with rice.
Told you this was quick one!
