Red Curry Paste For Thai Pork And Noodles Recipes

THAI RED CURRY WITH PORK AND NOODLES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add noodles; cook until just softened, about 2 minutes. Drain, and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
• Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add garlic; cook, stirring, until just starting to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add curry paste; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add pork; cook, stirring to break up meat, until very little pink remains, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in stock, coconut milk, and lime leaves. Bring to a simmer; cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is slightly thickened, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in fish sauce, sugar, and lime juice. Simmer 1 minute.
• Add noodles; toss well with tongs. Cook until noodles are tender and coated with sauce, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately, garnished with basil, bean sprouts, and lime wedges.

THAI RED CURRY PORK

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl combine water, oil, cornstarch and salt. Add the sliced pork shoulder to the bowl and mix well. Cover and marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• In a medium bowl, stir together water, lime juice and salt. Add eggplant chunks to the bowl and soak to prevent the eggplant from turning brown. Set aside. Drain and rinse before cooking.
• In a large wok over high heat, heat the coconut cream until it bubbles, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the red curry paste, brown sugar, pork, and squash and stir to mix. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring often, for approximately 5 minutes. Add the thin coconut milk and continue cooking, stirring for 15 minutes.
• Add the eggplant and cook, stirring constantly to fully submerge the eggplant to prevent from discolouring. Add the chiles, Thai basil leaves, lime leaves and fish sauce. Mix well and cook for another minute. Season to taste then remove from the heat.
• Serve Thai Red Pork Curry with steamed rice.
