Red Curry Pork Stir

This is a classic Thai Red Curry Pork Stir-Fry (aka Pad Prik Gaeng Moo) that’s made so much better by one of my little secret techniques. Oil velveting is a classic Chinese process used when stir-frying meat, and usually involves marinating strips of meat in egg white and cornflour, then deep-frying it as an initial step before the stir-fry action begins. The idea is to protect the meat so that it stays tender when stir-fried, and it also gives the exterior of the meat slices a ‘velvet’ texture that makes it seem softer....
