Stir-fried Red Chili Curry with Crispy Pork Belly

This spicy and herbaceous Thai stir fried, one dish meal, known as Pad Prik Gaeng Moo Grob has an amazing blend of flavors and aromas from fresh lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime, and dry roasted cumin, coriander, and peppercorns. Khun Wood's homemade Prik Gaeng Ped (Red Chili Curry Paste) is quickly fried together with Crispy Pork Belly slices, green beans, carrot, sweet chili, baby corn, and cauliflower, and of course a huge handful of Thai sweet basil. We love this recipe, and really like that he takes the time to make his own Prik Gaeng.

The secret to making delicious Thai food is in the sauces, chili pastes, and curry combinations. This recipe shows you exactly how to recreate the flavors of Thailand.
