Recipe Story

When I first tried the Moo Lae Goong Pad Tao, I was pleasantly surprised that this seemingly simple dish turned out to be one of the best Thai stir-fry dishes that I have made so far. This dish goes well with steamed rice and Madras Rasam.

Ingredients

 Wing or French beans- 250 grams, cut into 1 inch lengths
 Red curry paste2 Tablespoon
 Pork Fillets – 225 grams, thinly sliced
 Hot Water – 3 to 4 tablespoons
 Fish sauce4 Tablespoon
 Prawns – 115 grams, peeled and deveined
 Light Brown Sugar(or white sugar) – 1 tablespoon (you can use to your liking)
 Sunflower oil4 Tablespoon
 Ground black pepper1 To taste

Directions

MAKING
1) In a saucepan, boil water. Plunge the beans in boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Drain again.
2) Heat a wok, add oil. (If you want you can reduce the amount of oil because the pork will secrete oil of its own when cooked.) Add the red curry paste and stir to bring out the flavor. I usually start salivating at this stage. :)
3) Add the pork pieces and cook until it changes color. Thin slices will cook quite quickly.
4) Add hot water, fish sauce, prawns and beans. Stir well. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the sugar and black pepper.
5) Taste and adjust seasoning.


SERVING
6) Serve right away with steamed rice and Madras Rasam.

There is no vegetarian version of this. Pork and prawns cannot be replaced by soy nuggets. You can't replace fish sauce with anything else.

The name is a tad bit difficult to pronounce, so I would stick with the English version only.
