Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 onion, peeled and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 tablespoon shrimp paste

Instructions

  • Add shrimp paste and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about one minute.
  • Add coconut milk and chili peppers. Bring to a simmer.
  • Lower heat and simmer for about 8 to 10 minutes or until pork is cooked through and liquid is reduced.

Notes

  • This dish is relatively quick and easy to cook, but preparing the vegetable into small pieces can be a bit tedious. To save time, bundle and line up several beans on the cutting board, trim off the stems, and slice into the desired length all at once.
  • For a smooth consistency, cook the coconut sauce in a gentle simmer, and do not allow it to come to a rolling boil lest it curdles and separates.
  • If you prefer less heat, scrape off the seeds and veins before chopping the chili peppers.
