Thai Pork and Green Beans Recipe

Ingredients

• 3/4 lb. green beans (trimmed and cut into 2-inch lengths)
• 1 Tbsp. sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons grapeseed (or vegetable oil)
• 3 Tbsp. prik king curry paste (or use any red curry paste, such as panang, massaman, or regular “red”)
• 1 lb. boneless pork loin (very thinly sliced crosswise into 2-inch strips)
• 1/2 c. fat free chicken broth
• 2 Tbsp. fish sauce
• 1 Tbsp. palm sugar (or brown sugar)
• 4 wild lime leaves* (halved (or serve with lime wedges))

Instructions

1. 1

   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.

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

   Add the green beans to the pan and sauté for another 3 minutes.

5. 5

   Serve with lots of jasmine rice!
