Burmese-Style Pork Curry

Step 1

Place the ginger in a small bowl with 1/3 cup of hot water and set aside until needed.

Step 2

Cook the pork with the curry paste and brown sugar in a large deep skillet, stirring to coat meat, for about 15 minutes, until pork is nicely browned.

Step 3

Meanwhile, mix the turmeric, and soy sauce into the water and add to the pork.

Step 4

Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until meat is tender and sauce has thickened, about 45 minutes.

Step 5

Add the ginger (with its water), the shallots, garlic, and lime juice.

Step 6

Simmer for 5-7 more minutes, allowing the flavors to blend through.

Step 7

Check seasoning, adding more sugar, lime juice, or even a little salt, if necessary.

Step 8

Serve at once with steamed jasmine rice.
