What it is
A fiery dry stir-fry featuring sliced pork (or chicken/shrimp) cooked with red curry paste, typically accompanied by green beans and kaffir lime leaves. It’s rich in flavor, spicy, and aromatic, notably without the addition of coconut milk.
Key ingredients
Pork (or chicken/shrimp), red curry paste, fish sauce, green beans, kaffir lime leaves. Often includes palm sugar in standard restaurant preparations.
If you order it anyway
Crucially, request no sugar or palm sugar. Ask for extra protein and fewer green beans. If available, inquire about substituting green beans with other low-carb vegetables like broccoli or bell peppers to further reduce carb count. Assume heavy oil use.
