Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Add pork slices in a single layer and sear 90 seconds per side until edges brown. Work in batches if needed.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in curry paste until it coats the pork, about 30 seconds. Pour in coconut milk and scrape any browned bits.

  4. Step 4

    Simmer over medium for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens and pork is tender.

  5. Step 5

    Stir in fish sauce and sugar. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

    Serve over warm jasmine rice. Drizzle sauce over the top.
