KHUA KLING:
Ingredients:
-
2.5 oz. Little Trúc Southern Thai Curry Paste (half a pouch)
-
2 long red chilies
-
2 stalks lemongrass
-
15 makrut lime leaves
-
1 lb coarse ground pork or beef
-
1 tsp sugar
-
~ 2 tbsp fish sauce
Directions:
-
Remove top 1/3 and tough outer layers from lemongrass; slice prepped lemongrass & red chilies as thin as humanly possible. Remove center stem from lime leaves, stack on top of each other, roll them up & slice as thin as humanly possible. Set all these aside.
-
Preheat a wok or pan on medium-high heat. Add ~1/2 the contents of Southern Thai curry paste to a dry pan & stir-fry for 2-3 minutes being careful not to let it burn! (we know it feels weird not to use oil, but trust!)
-
Add in pork or beef & stir constantly, scraping the bottom of the pan. When meat is cooked through (5 min.) sprinkle in sugar.
-
Add in lemongrass, lime leaf & red chilies. Stir to combine, cooking another minute.
-
Season w/ fish sauce & serve w/ jasmine rice.
