Pork Rib Curry I
My wife makes most of the Thai dishes here at the house, and certainly all the ones that use shrimp paste. My wife made this on 8 Feb 2018 for the family, served 4, twice.
Ingredients
- 1 kilo pork ribs, separated between the bones (2 lbs)
- 3-4 shallots, peeled and smashed
- 1 palmful black peppercorns
- 2-3 tablespoons red chili paste
- 2-3 tablespoons shrimp paste
- 1-2 handfuls hot Thai basil, this is the large Thai basil
- cooked rice, for serving
Instructions
- Heat a pot of water and add the shallots and peppercorns.
- When the water is boiling, add the pork ribs. Here is the ribs used.
- And into the pot.
- Now get your chili and shrimp paste out and ready. Shrimp paste on the left, chili paste on the right.
- And wash the basil and get that ready.
- When the meat is tender, about 30 minutes to an hour, mix in the chili and shrimp pastes. and let simmer / low boil for another 30 minutes.
- Then add the basil and let that wilt down, takes just a minute or so.
- Stir the basil into the curry and let it simmer for a few more minutes.
- Ready to serve with rice.
Notes
I will estimate 120 Baht for the ribs. For 6 servings, this is about 59 cents per serving.
