Thai Pork and Baby Corn Stir Fry

Submitted by The Flying Chef

"This is a great quick recipe that you can just throw together and tastes wonderful. The amounts listed below I served for 2 people but I made no rice to go with it and it was perfect amount, apart from the fact there was a little to much corn for 2, it would be fine for three. If you prefer to serve it over rice it would feed 3. If you wish to do this for 4 I would up the pork amount to 750g and keep the other ingredients the same."

This was really good... Very good indeed. As far as the green curry, I guess I wish I had the green curry paste the prior reviewer had. Must be might awesome. With my green curry paste, I knew tablespoon wouldn't cut it, so I used three... Then I did the spoon test a minute later and added another tablespoon plus a smidge. If I did this again, I would use all 5 tbsp (yes, tablespoon ).

Are you sure this recipie isn't meant to have 5 teaspoons of curry paste. As we tried it tonight with 5 tablespoons and despite loving thai food and the spice/heat that comes with it neither my husband or I could eat it. We can't wait to try it again with less paste next time.
