Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan or flameproof casserole. Add the spring onions and coriander stalks and cook for 1 min. Add the pork slices and cook for 5 mins until starting to brown.
  2. Stir in the curry paste and peanut butter. After 30 secs, add the sugar, soy and coconut milk, plus ½ can of water. Mix well, put a lid on and leave to simmer for 15 mins, stirring occasionally.
  3. Remove the lid, add the baby corn and increase the heat. Bubble for 3 mins until the corn is cooked and the sauce has thickened a little. Stir in the lime juice and check the seasoning. Can now be frozen for up to 2 months. To cook from frozen: thoroughly defrost, then heat in a pan on the hob until curry is hot all the way through. Serve scattered with the coriander leaves and rice.

    This was lovely. Easy to make and froze well. Not normally a fan of baby corn but perfect in texture and flavour for this dish.

    Made this last night and it was delicious. Very easy to make. I don't like sweetcorn so substituted it for a pack of green veg that contained sugar snap peas, tenderstem broccoli and some asparagus. Not very thai but tasted great!

    Made this and it was lovely, my only criticism would be that it can get a little too sickly sweet (peanut butter and coconut milk), so next time I would probably add a bit of fish sauce. Admittedly, my husband and I were a tad greedy and did go for seconds!

    This was GORGEOUS! I used 2 tbsp of the Thai Taste red curry paste as it is quite a hot one and 3 tbsp of peanut butter as that was all I had and left out the sugar - it was spot on. I also added a mixed packet of mange tout and baby corn to vary the vegetables - was really yummy!!

    This dish tastes very similar to the Lloyd Grossmen, thai curry jars, so I am very chuffed that I can make it myself and should save a packet as those jars are not cheap. I must admit, I think I was abit generous with the red curry paste (and i like my food hot), so may try 3 tbsp next time. I also added a red pepper to mine to bulk it out a bit as didnt think the recipe amounts were enough for 4 (my 3 (plus me) anyway). Apart from that, nice and simple and went down well with everyone :)

    Great dish with lots of flavour. Very easy to make and freezes well. I served with rice noodles and used crunchy peanut butter for added texture. Will definitely make again.

    This was delicious and easy to make. I prepared using chicken rather than pork. I found the ingredients for coriander and onions vague. I would suggest about 1-1/2 cups coriander and 5 springs onions (rather than saying "bunch". I am also not a fan of baby corn and will next time substitute with mushrooms and red pepper.

    One of my children cannot tolerate peanuts but can eat other nuts - can anyone suggest a suitable replacement? Thanks

    An ok curry without really setting the world alight. It is however excellent for a midweek dish. Further notes and a photo of my construction http://www.badzilla.co.uk/Good-Food-Thai-Pork-and-Peanut-Curry

    Having never tried cooking Thai food before I decided to give this recipe a go. Made my own Thai red curry paste (1st time for that as well) and everyone in the family loved it. The recipe was easy to follow and had it made quicker than if I had ordered in. Will certainly be trying out more Thai recepies in the future. A big thumbs up from me.
