Instructions
- Stack a few kaffir lime leaves, roll them tightly, and slice into thin strips with a sharp knife.
- In a non-stick wok or pot over medium heat, pour a bit more than 1/3 of the coconut milk. No oil needed. Stir occasionally to keep it from burning. Soon, the coconut milk will thicken and oil starts to show on the surface. Don’t bring it to a full boil, just a gentle simmer.
- Stir in the curry paste until it’s well mixed with the coconut milk.
- Add the rest of the coconut milk and mix well. Bring to a boil and then add palm sugar, fish sauce, and your protein. Give it a stir to ensure the pork doesn’t stick together. Allow the curry to simmer until the pork is cooked, typically about 3-4 minutes.
- Toss in pea beans, sliced kaffir lime leaves, and chilies, and cook for another 2 minutes. Serve right away with a portion of rice or vermicelli noodles. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
- Panang curry paste - For store bought use Mae Ploy or Maesri.
- Chilies - For a mild curry, opt for Spanish long red chilies - they're only mildly spicy. For a spicier curry, go for Thai jinda or bird's eye chilies. In my family, we remove the seeds when making panang curry, and then slice the chilies into thin strips.
