1. Cook the beans in boiling salted water for 5 minutes, then drain and refresh under cold running water.
2. Heat the oil in a saucepan, add the curry paste and ginger and fry gently until the oil separates out. Tip in the pork and stock, bring to the boil, then simmer for 5 minutes.
3. Add the fish sauce, sugar, coconut milk, palm hearts, lime zest and juice and simmer for a further 5 minutes, adding the beans halfway through. Throw in the basil and coriander and serve with rice noodles.

  An old favourite in this house. I sometimes use bean sprouts instead of palm hearts.

  I used green curry paste instead of red for the chilli-phobes in our house and it was delicious. Will definitely make again!

  A firm favourite for a Friday night treat and have used for friends as is easy but packed with flavour. Wish palm hearts were easier to come by, now can only get in Waitrose!

  I tried the recipe last week for mself and a couple of friends. It was a complete success - delicious and so easy to cook! I would definitely do this again. I do have just one question, I couldn't find any pallm hearts so omitted them (and it tasted just great) but can anyone suggest what I could replace them with?

  I was rather dubious about this whilst it was cooking, as it was looking rather runny, but it thickened up well and turned out absolutely delicious! Was unable to get hold of palm hearts so used artichoke hearts rinsed thoroughly and chopped, which worked out surprisingly well!

  Shoobles: So lovely and tasty! Used 2 tsp Barts Green Thai Curry Paste and had no palm hearts or basil so added finely sliced carrots and courgette. Tasted divine and everyone loved it...but then I am a Thai Food Lover!
