Spicy Coconut Pork

This recipe for spicy coconut pork gets its heat from red Thai curry paste, which we love for its hot, citrusy burn; use one to two tablespoons depending on the level of spice you like. To temper all that fire our spicy coconut pork recipe calls for brown sugar for sweetness, lime juice for sourness, and fish sauce for savoriness. Ginger and turmeric also add an additional layer of spicy, earthy flavor. A side of fluffy rice and a shower of fresh herbs and chiles tie this delicious dish together.
