Pork green curry stir fry

I found inspiration for this recipe in a book I bought in December called The Real Meal Revolution. It’s all about the “Banting” (low carb high fat) way of eating and I found it quite inspiring. I’m not going to get into this topic (as I think that there’s enough debate going on around it all around the web) but I really, really loved the sound of their Pork and Coconut stir fry. As is the case with most of my cooking, I ventured away from the original recipe and made quite a few adjustments to suit my own tastes so for the original, get your hands on a copy of this very interesting book filled with great recipes.

I used pork fillet which I thinly sliced and then thinned out with a meat mallet to ensure quick-cooking. I flavoured it quite heavily with fish and soy sauce (which you can’t do if you’re following Banting as you’re not allowed any soy products) and used store-bought green curry paste to add depth and flavour. I decided to stick to the low-carb idea and served this as is with lots of fresh coriander and a scattering of fresh chilli and a side of steamed broccoli (I’ve also added broccoli to the stir fry) but if you’d like this would just delicious with noodles or rice.
