Red Pork curry

Again, this can be made with any meat but is great with pork or beef.

3 tablespoons of curry paste
2 cups of coconut milk
3-4 kaffir lime leaves
500g lean pork sliced
1 teaspoon of sugar
2 tablespoons fish sauce
50 g bamboo shoots OR 100g zucchini, eggplant or beans
chopped basil leaves

Stir fry curry paste in some oil in a wok or saucepan for a few minutes. Add half the coconut milk and lime leaves and simmer for several minutes stirring constantly.
Add pork and cook for 5 minutes or until the sauce starts to thicken. Add remaining milk, sugar and fish sauce and simmer until the pork is cooked to your liking. Taste to see if you need to adjust the flavour. It should be hot, spicy and sweet. Add the vegetables just before serving and garnish with basil. Serve with hot rice.
