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.
