Method

  1. 1 Slice the wild boar meat thinly across the grain and marinate it in a little fish sauce for 20 minutes.
  2. 2 Sauté the red curry sauce in oil for 3 minutes until fragrant; this dish doesn't use coconut milk, so the sauce needs to be sautéed until dry.
  3. 3 Add the meat and stir-fry over high heat for 4 minutes. Wild game meat is tougher, so it takes longer to stir-fry than farmed pork.
  4. 4 Add the rice noodles, galangal, lime leaves, and whole green peppercorns, then stir for 90 seconds.
  5. 5 Add the chopped green beans, stir-fry for 60 seconds, and season with fish sauce.
  6. 6 Turn off the heat, mix in the basil leaves, and serve immediately while the herbal aroma is still strong.
