Instructions
- Rub the fish sauce and neutral oil into the sliced pork with your hands, separating pieces as you mix.
- In a saute pan or wok over medium-high heat, reduce 3/4 cup coconut milk until thick and creamy.
- Stir in the curry paste, lower heat to medium-low and cook a few minutes, stirring constantly, until the coconut oil separates from the paste. If it sticks, deglaze with a little of the remaining coconut milk.
- Add the palm sugar and torn lime leaves and cook about a minute, until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the pork and toss quickly with the paste, separating pieces. When the pork is about 50% cooked, add the remaining coconut milk and stir for one more minute, until mostly cooked through, then turn off the heat. Add a splash of water if it looks dry.
- Stir in red pepper if using. Taste and add more fish sauce as needed, since paste saltiness varies by brand.
- Plate, garnish with julienned lime leaves and extra red pepper if desired, and serve with jasmine rice.
