ingredients

¹⁄₂ lb fresh green beans (about 2 cups) or 1/2 lb asian yard long beans, cut into 2 inch lengths (about 2 cups)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons prik king curry paste or 3 tablespoons red curry paste
2 tablespoons dried shrimp, finely chopped (or ground, this ingredient is optional)
¹⁄₄ lb pork, thinly sliced crosswise into 2 inch strips
¹⁄₃ cup chicken stock or 1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon palm sugar or 1 tablespoon brown sugar
4 wild fresh lime leaves (optional)

directions

Bring a medium saucepan of water to a rolling boil. Add the green beans and cook 3 minutes, until tender but crisp. Drain and set aside.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over low heat, and add the prik king paste and dried shrimp, if using. Cook 3-4 minutes, pressing the curry paste and stirring as it softens and becomes fragrant. Increase the heat to medium high and add the prok, tossing about 1 minute to coat it with sauce.
Stir in chicken stock, fish sauce, palm sugar, cooked green beans, and lime leaves, if using, and cook 2-3 minutes more, tossing often, until beans are heated through and sauce is well combined. Transfer to a serving dish and serve hot or warm.
