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.

Made this today but using king prawns and half an aubergine instead of pork, and it was amazing! I did boil it a little longer than suggested, to thicken the sauce, but noticed it also gets much thicker upon standing too. Very impressed.

Made this the other day,was lovely. Used Chicken instead of Pork and didnt use the sugar, added 1 red pepper to it. Only issue I found was that it was quite watery so took longer before it got thicker. Wouldnt use as much water next time and its an awful lot of baby corn, would rather adde a few more veggies than that much baby corn.

I'm glad many people like this. Many great Thai recipes were created by the Southern Thai Muslims, Massaman curry is a good example.

This is quite different from the Indian peanut curry I had before. The Indian version uses spices but the Thai version uses red curry paste. I wonder if the idea of using peanut was inspired from India?

Really enjoyed this dish! Used 1/2 the amount of sugar and a good splash of fish sauce. I didn't add the additional water and the sauce was a great consistency. I'm not convinced it would feed 4. I got 3 reasonably portions (perhaps we were greedy!) I will definitely make this again!

Made this last night and left out the sugar as some other comments suggested and it was delicious! My boyfriend isn't overly keen on satay type dishes so I was wary of a dish with peanut butter but its not too much, its the perfect combination of spicy and peanuty! This will be a regular meal in my house now!!

Wow! This was so yummy! I added a tbsp of fish sauce and left out the sugar. I also only put in 3 tbsp of peanut butter which was perfect for me. Definitely making this again!

Loved this! Missed out the sugar, swapped the pork for chicken thighs and added some chillies, red and green peppers and mushrooms to thicken the sauce up a bit, was lovely! :)

Made this recently using chicken instead of pork, had to use an extra tblsp of peanut butter to thicken it up, but it turned out excellent. Take away quality!
