Best 2 Burmese Style Pork Curry Recipes

BURMESE-STYLE PORK CURRY

Steps:

• Place the ginger in a small bowl with 1/3 cup of hot water and set aside until needed.
• 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.
• Meanwhile, mix the turmeric, and soy sauce into the water and add to the pork.
• Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until meat is tender and sauce has thickened, about 45 minutes.
• Add the ginger (with its water), the shallots, garlic, and lime juice.
• Simmer for 5-7 more minutes, allowing the flavors to blend through.
• Check seasoning, adding more sugar, lime juice, or even a little salt, if necessary.
• Serve at once with steamed jasmine rice.

BURMESE CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Rub chicken thighs with curry powder, garam masala, salt. Cover and set aside. Place onion, garlic, ginger, cayenne pepper, and paprika in a blender with 2 tablespoons of water and blend into a smooth paste.
• Heat the oil in a large, lidded skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion mixture until darkened, about 7 minutes. Stir in chicken thighs and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then add tomatoes, lemon grass, and fish sauce. Cook for 2 minutes. Stir in 1 cup of water and bring the curry to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low and cook until the chicken begins to fall apart, stirring occasionally, 25 to 35 minutes. Remove lid and increase heat. Cook until the sauce is reduced, about 5 minutes. Skim off excess oil from the top and discard.
