Phat Phet Mu

(Stir-Fried Pork with Red Curry Paste)

If you can find the ingredients, this is an easy-to-make Thai dish that is full of flavour.  I serve it up with plain white steamed rice.

Prep time:  15 mins
Cooking time: 20 mins
Serves: 4

Ingredients:
1 tbsp Vegetable Oil
400 grams lean pork sliced into thin strips (I buy pork loin, then slice it as thinly as possible, diagonally across the loin)
2 tbsps Red Curry Paste (I buy this pre-made from Makro)
1 cup of Coconut Milk
1 1/2 tbsp of Fish Sauce
Pinch of Salt
1/2 tbsp Sugar
3-5 Kaffir Lime Leaves (I can't find these in Spain, so I use fresh Basil leaves, instead)
2 Fresh Red Chillies, sliced

Preparation:
1. Heat oil in wok over medium hea.  Fry the red curry paste and pork for 5 minutes, stirrin regularly.  Add half of the coconut milk and cook for another 10 minsutes, stirring occasionally.
2.  When the pork is done, add the remaining coconut milk, the fish sauce, kaffir lime leaves, salt and sugar, stir well and bring to a boil.
3.  Add chillies and stir well.  Let simmer for 2-3 minutes. 
4.  Spoon over rice and serve hot.
