Ingredients

  • 8 oz tempeh, sliced thin
  • ½ lb ground pork
  • 8 oz long beans (or green beans), cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 3 tbsp red curry paste (Thai)
  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 whole lime (juiced)
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, ~90 seconds.

  2. 2

    Add tempeh slices in a single layer. Cook 3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Transfer to a plate.

  3. 3

    Add ground pork to the same skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until no pink remains, ~5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir in red curry paste until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add long beans and coconut milk, tossing to coat.

  5. 5

    Simmer until beans are tender-crisp and sauce clings to them, 4–5 minutes. Stir in fish sauce and lime juice.

  6. 6

    Plate curry alongside crispy tempeh. Top with cilantro and serve immediately.
