Serves 3
Main

Instructions

  1. 1

    Reduce Coconut Milk: In a wok over medium heat, simmer 1 cup of coconut cream (from the top of the can) until it thickens and the coconut oil clearly separates (about 5 mins).

  2. 2

    Bloom Paste: Stir in the Panang curry paste and fry for 2-3 minutes. It should smell deeply roasted and slightly spicy.

  3. 3

    Cook the Pork: Add the sliced pork, tossing well so the meat is coated in the thick, oily paste. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the outside is cooked.

  4. 4

    Thicken: Add remaining coconut milk, crushed peanuts, palm sugar, and fish sauce. Turn heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 8-10 minutes. This curry should be quite thick, clinging to the meat rather than soupy.

  5. 5

    Garnish: Remove from heat and stir in half of the julienned kaffir lime leaves. Garnish with the rest before serving.
