Preparation

What You Need

1 cup (250 ml) Milk
2 tbsp (30 ml) cornstarch
1 tbsp (15 ml) packed brown sugar
2 tbsp (30 ml) soy sauce
1 tsp (5 ml) grated lime zest, (about 1)
1 tbsp (15 ml) butter
1 lb (450 g) boneless pork loin or
leg, cut into thin strips
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 green bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1/2 to 1 tsp (2 to 5 mL) Thai green curry paste
2 tbsp (30 ml) freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tbsp (30 ml) chopped fresh basil

Instructions

In bowl, whisk a little of the milk into cornstarch to make a smooth paste. Whisk in remaining milk, sugar, soy sauce and lime zest; set aside.

In a wok or large skillet, melt butter over high heat; stir-fry pork and garlic for 2,3 min or until pork is browned. Add red and green peppers and green curry paste and stir-fry for 3,4 min or until peppers start to soften. Whisk milk mixture and pour into wok. Cook, stirring often, for about 5 min or until sauce is thickened. Stir in lime juice and basil.


Tips

Thai green curry paste can be found in jars or packets with the Asian foods at most grocery stores. It is quite spicy so if you're not sure about the heat, start with the lowest amount suggested.

For the Adventurous: Use Thai fish sauce instead of soy sauce, increase curry paste to 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) and add 2 cups (500 mL) shredded napa cabbage with peppers.

Healthy Eating Tip: This the cold season and Canadians should be topping up on vitamin C and zinc. This recipe is an excellent source of both ' so no need for supplements!
