Ingredients
For marinating pork
- 400 g pork (see notes)
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 1.5 tablespoon water
For peanut sauce
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 1.5 tablespoon red curry paste (see notes)
- 0.5 tablespoon tamarind paste
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1.5 tablespoon palm sugar
- 1/3 cup crushed roasted peanuts
For cooking vegetables and pork
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 150 g morning glory (water spinach)
Optional
- Thai chili paste (see notes)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine thinly sliced pork with water and white sugar. Knead the mixture until the pork has absorbed all the water. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- In a wok or pan, reduce half of the coconut milk over medium heat until the coconut oil begins to separate.
- Stir in the red curry paste and mix well until fragrant, and oil appears on the surface.
- Add the remaining coconut milk and bring to a boil. Then, add palm sugar, tamarind paste, and fish sauce. Switch to low-medium heat and let the curry simmer for 5 minutes, stirring regularly to allow the sauce to thicken.
- Stir in crushed roasted peanuts and remove the peanut sauce from heat.
- Fill a pot or large wok with water and add the tablespoon of oil. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Cook the water spinach for about a minute until it is cooked but still crisp. Remove from the water and set aside on paper towels to drain.
- In the same boiling water, cook your marinated pork until fully cooked, about one to two minutes, depending on the thickness of your slices. Remove from the water and transfer to paper towels to drain any excess water.
- To assemble, portion out steamed rice (if desired), add the water spinach, top with the cooked pork, and drizzle with the peanut sauce.
Notes
- Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
- Red curry paste: You can use my recipe for homemade Thai red curry paste or opt for good quality store-bought versions like Mae Ploy and Maesri.
- Thai chili paste: Add a drizzle of Thai chili paste for spice. (optional)
- Pork: The best cuts are those that balance tenderness with flavor. Pork shoulder, pork butt, pork tenderloin, and pork loin all work well. Slice thinly.
