PHAD PHRIK KHING MUU (RED CURRY WITH PORK BELLY AND GREEN BEANS)

Steps:

• Bring pork and 6 cups water to a boil in a 4 qt saucepan over high heat. Cook until pork is tender (45 minutes). Transfer pork to an ice bath. Drain, dry completely, and discard skin. Cut pork into 1 inch pieces about 1/2 inch thick and set aside.
• While cooking the pork belly, place chiles in a bowl and cover with 2 cups boiling water. Let sit until soft (15 minutes). Drain chiles, reserving 5 tbsp liquid.
• Place chiles in a small food processor with dried shrimp, cilantro root, salt, garlic, shallots, lemongrass, ginger and galangal. Pulse until roughly chopped. Add reserved liquid and puree until smooth. Set 1/2 cup aside and refrigerate remaining paste for future use (up to 2 weeks).
• Heat a 12 inch skillet or 13 inch wok over medium-high heat and add pork pieces. Cook, turning as needed, until browned on all sides and fat is rendered (12 minutes). Add garlic and cook until beginning to brown (1-2 minutes). Stir in the 1/2 cup curry paste.
• Cook, stirring, until fragrant (1-2 minutes). Add fish sauce, peppercorns, palm sugar, lime leaves, chiles, ginger and 2/3 cup water. Bring to a boil. Add beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender (15 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in basil. Serve with jasmine rice on the side.
