Gaeng Hung Lay - Northern Pork Belly Curry Recipe - Hot Thai Kitchen! แกงฮังเล

Gaeng Hung Lay is one of the most iconic dishes of Northern Thailand, and arguably one of the tastiest! Pork belly and pork ribs are slowly stewed in a WHOLE bunch of herbs and spices. The result is tender fatty pieces of pork that has been entirely permeated by the rich and aromatic sauce. It is a dish to impress, and though it takes time, most of the process is hands-off!
This dish came to Northern Thailand via Myanmar, which in turn has a lot of Indian influences on their cuisine. This is why there is a lot of spices in this recipe, and you can use Indian garam masala for it as well!
