Ingredients:

2 sweet potatos
400g
1 cup coconut milk
230g
2 tsp olive oil
9g
2 pork fillets
400g
1/3 cup curry paste
72g
8 oz broccoli
230g
1/2 cup green beans
120g
2 tsp brown sugar
6g
1 tsp fish sauce
5g
1 tbsp lime juice
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables and Pork:
- Peel and cube the sweet potatoes.
- Cut the broccoli into florets.
- Trim the green beans.
- Slice the pork fillets thinly.
2. Cook the Sweet Potatoes:
- In a large saucepan or pot, add the cubed sweet potatoes and enough water to cover them.
- Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender. Drain and set aside.
3. Cook the Pork:
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced pork fillets to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until the pork is browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the skillet and set it aside.
4. Make the Curry Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add the green curry paste. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly until it becomes fragrant.
- Gradually add the coconut milk, about a quarter cup at a time, while stirring to combine with the curry paste.
5. Combine Ingredients and Simmer:
- Add the previously cooked sweet potatoes, broccoli florets, and green beans to the skillet. Stir to coat the vegetables with the curry sauce.
- Add the browned pork back into the skillet.
- Stir in the brown sugar, fish sauce, and lime juice. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the curry simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
6. Final Adjustments:
- Taste the curry and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more fish sauce or lime juice to balance the flavors.
- If the curry is too thick, you can add a little water or more coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.
7. Serve:
- Serve the Thai green pork curry hot, over a bed of steamed jasmine rice or your preferred rice variety.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro, Thai basil, or a wedge of lime if desired.

Tips:

- When choosing pork fillets, look for ones that are tender and have a slight marbling of fat for the best flavor and texture.

- Cut the sweet potatoes into evenly sized pieces to ensure they cook through at the same rate.

- If you prefer a spicier curry, you can add sliced chili peppers or more curry paste to the dish.

- For a richer flavor, cook the pork fillets whole to seal in juices, then slice them before serving.

- Use fresh vegetables for crisp texture and vibrant flavors, but frozen vegetables can be a good substitute if you’re short on fresh ingredients.

- The dish pairs wonderfully with jasmine rice or a side of noodles to soak up the flavorful curry sauce.
