About my Pad Ped Moo Sai Naw Mai:

This authentic Thailand stir-fried dish is made by frying pork into a red chili base that includes fresh lemongrass, galangal, coriander root, kaffir lime, garlic and shallots. It's one of our most popular one-dish meals, known as Pad Ped Moo, and it's simply bursting with a rich, herbaceous, and almost medicinal flavor. In this version we add a healthy portion of bamboo shoots, some carrot, and green chili. It makes a nice main dish when served on a small plate to be shared, but it is most often eaten just like this with some fresh, hot rice.

Measure the chili paste, sugar, and soy sauce. Organize everything well before you start to fry.
