For something more exotic, a favourite request around here....you may need a trip to the Asian suppplier!
1 TBS Peanut oil-only oil to handle the heat
3 Tbs Red Curry Paste- comes in small plastic tubs & is most used in Thai cooking
500g lean pork
1 1/2 cups coconut milk
3 kaffir lime leaves
Lime zest 1 tbs
2 tbs fish sauce (Nam Pla)
10 fresh basil leaves
1 or 2 red chillis sliced
425 g baby corn
2 fresh young citrus leaves wiped clean and banged with back of knife
Heat wok& add oil, swirl, fry curry paste till it seperates slightly seeping oil and becomes fragrant- not long-add diced pork and stir till pork changes colour.stir in coconut milk and lime leaves and zest
reduce heat and simmer for 35 minutes till pork is tender, stir occassionally, add coconut milk if it is drying out.
When you are happy the pork is tender, add fish sauce, basil leaves and citrus leaves, chillies and corn and cook for 5 minutes more.
Serve with steamed white rice (jasmine is good) fresh coriander to garnish with a wedge of lime.

Looking fowards to hearing/seeing the results.
-----------
Fish Sauce goes off, kinda.
Look for the lightest tea colour, if it is dark then it is older stock.
Also, there is squid sauce, much more potent and funky, avoid!
The Red Curry I usually look for has a logo of a lady in red sitting Thai style, another good one has a head/shoulder lady icon, both are good pastes and very useful
The green curry paste has been made famous because of 'Khaeng Keo Wan Gai' or Green Curry, but it isn't used for many dishes whereas the red one is used in hundreds of recipes!
