Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, ~90 seconds.
Step 2
Add tempeh slices in a single layer. Cook 3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Add ground pork to the same skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until no pink remains, ~5 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in red curry paste until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add long beans and coconut milk, tossing to coat.
Step 5
Simmer until beans are tender-crisp and sauce clings to them, 4–5 minutes. Stir in fish sauce and lime juice.
Step 6
Plate curry alongside crispy tempeh. Top with cilantro and serve immediately.
