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.
