Equipment
- Measuring cups & spoons
- Cutting board & sharp knife
- Large wok or deep pan
- wooden spoon or spatula
- Mortar & pestle if using homemade green curry paste
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp oil
- 3 tbsp green curry paste
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 1½ tbsp palm sugar
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp rosdee seasoning powder, see notes
- 400 g pork, thinly sliced
- 12 Thai eggplants, halved or quartered
- 20 g pea eggplants, optional
- 2 yard long beans, sliced into 1-inch sized pieces
- 3 chilies, to taste
- a handful sweet basil
Instructions
- Heat the oil. Heat the oil in a large wok or pot over medium heat until it shimmers.
- Fry the curry paste. Add the green curry paste and fry, stirring, until it loosens up and smells fragrant.
- Build the curry sauce. Pour in the coconut milk and stir to combine. Add the palm sugar, fish sauce, salt, and rosdee seasoning powder. Bring to a gentle simmer and make sure the palm sugar dissolves.
- Cook the pork. Add the pork and stir gently until the meat turns opaque and feels tender, about 3 minutes.
- Add the vegetables. Add the Thai eggplants, yard long beans, pea eggplants, and chilies if using. Let the curry simmer until the vegetables are tender but still hold their shape.
- Finish with basil and serve. Turn off the heat, add the sweet basil, and give everything a gentle stir. Serve hot with jasmine rice or rice vermicelli noodles.
