About This Dish
Panaeng is a thick, fragrant coconut curry with rich roasted spice notes and finely sliced makrut lime leaves.
Prepare all ingredients before you start. Taste and adjust seasoning as you cook, using fresh produce and safe cooking temperatures for meat and seafood.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Slice pork thinly across the grain for quick, even cooking.
- Warm the thick coconut cream in a skillet until gently bubbling.
- Fry Panaeng curry paste in the cream until its aroma blooms.
- Add pork and toss until every slice is coated in the paste.
- Stir in more coconut milk and simmer until the pork is cooked through and the sauce clings to it.
- Season with fish sauce and a touch of palm sugar, tasting for balance.
- Add thin strips of makrut lime leaf and sliced red chilies just before serving.
- Spoon over jasmine rice and garnish with a swirl of coconut cream.
Chef’s Cooking Tips
Unlike a soupy curry, Panaeng should be rich and thick enough to coat each piece of meat.
