This dish is an absolute classic southern Thai food. Ground pork, or any other ground meat, or even crumbled tofu, is stir-fried with southern curry paste laced with turmeric. It's spicy, it's super flavourful, and it's versatile! We toss it with some jasmine rice, but you can put it in an omelette or perhaps...a taco? Oh and it's also gluten-free and can be made vegan if you substitute crumbled firm tofu or TVP (detailed vegan substitution will be in the written recipe)
In Thailand, this dish is often way too spicy for me to enjoy (southern food is often super spicy), so I gotta make it myself so I can make it just right for me!
Once you've made the curry paste (which you can make in advance and then freeze), the recipe comes together in mere minutes and it keeps well for your lunch the next day. This is not a dish many Thai restaurants offer because it's more of a regional specialty, so if you want to try it you gotta make it yourself!
