Method
- Mix the minced pork and red curry paste in a bowl.
- Season with palm sugar and fish sauce and add the coconut cream. Slap the mixture to work the proteins.
- Mix in the egg. Finish with generous amounts of lime leaf julienne.
- If should be fragrant, slightly spicy and salty with a subtle sweet finish(taste a small amount by grilling in banana leaf before stuffing the bamboo and season accordingly)
- Stuff the Thai basil into the bamboo. Then stuff the seasoned pork min and make sure to pack it really tightly.
- stopper the top of the bamboo with rolled up banana leaf and grill over medium to low heat for about 20 to 30 minutes or until the pork is well cooked.
- To serve, remove from bamboo. Cut the bamboo in half lengthways and place on a mound of salt and egg whites for stability. Lay the Thai basil in the bamboo. Elegantly slice the pork and place back into the bamboo. Garnish with thickened coconut cream, chili julienne, lime leaf julienne and coriander.
