Tips:

  • To make the pork extra tender, marinate it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
  • If you don't have time to marinate the pork, you can still make this dish, but the pork will be less tender.
  • When browning the pork, be sure to do it in batches so that the pork doesn't steam. This will help to create a nice, crispy crust on the pork.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the lemongrass, garlic, and ginger by hand. However, a food processor will make the job much easier.
  • Be sure to use fresh coconut milk for this recipe. Canned coconut milk will not give you the same flavor.
  • If you don't have any kaffir lime leaves, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of lime zest.
  • Serve this dish with steamed rice and a side of vegetables.
