Instructions

Bring a pot of water to a boil and toss in your green beans. Let them cook for about 3 minutes, then strain and rinse with cold water.
Heat the sesame and grapeseed oil over medium-low heat in a large skillet. Add in the curry paste and stir for 2-3 minutes until the paste is well combined with the oil. Use the back of a wooden spoon to work the two together.
Turn the heat up to medium high heat and add the pork strips. Stir the pork around to evenly coat in curry paste for a minute or two, then add in the broth, fish sauce, wild lime leaves (if using), and palm sugar. Stir well to combine.
Add the green beans to the pan and sauté for another 3 minutes.
Serve with lots of jasmine rice!

Notes

*The lime leaves are pictured as a garnish, in case you are wondering what they look like.
Store any leftovers of the Thai Pork and Green Beans in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and they should remain good for up to 3-4 days. While freezing is an option, be aware that the texture of the green beans may change when thawed.
For reheating, you can gently warm the dish in a skillet over medium heat, adding a little water or broth if it appears dry. Alternatively, you can reheat using a microwave but be sure to cover the dish and stir it halfway through.
