I get asked quite often why I like to cook. The first reason I give is normally because I like to eat. I am Thai and food is a big factor in our culture. We greet each other with hello followed by 'have you eaten? When guests turn up at your house it's safe to assume that they will expect to be fed.

The second reason is that as I grew up in the Northeastern part of Thailand, the poorest region, food was always hard to come by. We weren't hungry as there was always rice, but it was difficult finding something to go with rice. Now I do have ingredients to go with rice, I want to cook!

Curry Stir Fried Pork หมูผัดพริกแกง.


Curry Stir Fried Pork.

One of my running friends loves my Thai curries. I've made her quite a few different ones but not yet a dry fried one. She's going to be so happy. The kitchen smells so beautiful. Don't let the colour fool you, this is seriously fiery. Eat with plenty of rice and mild stir fried vegetables.

Serves 3-4.

In a large wok on high heat, fry
-700g sliced pork fillet, 
-1/2tsp turmeric powder.
Stir frying to char the meat pieces slightly, add
-1tbsp fish sauce,
-1tbsp soy sauce,
-2tbsp oyster.
Cook, stirring until the pork is almost cooked through, add
-2tbsp red curry paste (if you would like to make your own, the recipe is on here),
-100g sliced sugar snap peas.
Cook, stirring until the meat is cooked through, sprinkle on 
-2 sliced spring onions.
Taste and adjust seasoning, you may need 1/2tsp of sugar.

Serve with rice and other dishes.
