Method

  1. 1 Grind dried chili peppers, lemongrass, shallots, garlic, turmeric powder, and a little shrimp paste into a thick sauce.
  2. 2 Mince the pork coarsely, including some fat, so that it doesn't become tough when stir-fried.
  3. 3 Sauté the sauce with oil over low heat for 3 minutes until fully cooked and fragrant.
  4. 4 Add the meat and stir well, stir-frying until the liquid is completely reduced without adding any water.
  5. 5 Season with fish sauce, then sprinkle with plenty of finely chopped Thai lime leaves, and serve with rice and fresh vegetables.
