Notes
- Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
- Thai green curry paste: Use Mae ploy or Maesri for store-bought curry paste.
- Pork: For making Thai curry, choose tender cuts like pork shoulder, pork tenderloin, and pork loin. These remain succulent and flavorful when simmered in the rich curry sauce.
- Rosdee flavor seasoning is a popular all-purpose Thai seasoning powder that enhances dishes with a rich, savory umami flavor, easily found in Asian supermarkets or online stores.
