This is a red barbeque pork dish normally served with rice, soft boiled eggs, and a thick rich cinnamon and peanut sauce. In its authentic Thai version it is a complete filling meal, however you can also simply use the pork as a side dish to another recipe. It is better to use a pork cut that has some fat, the fat adds a lot of flavour. For the best result, marinade the pork overnight.
Ingredients
for 4 People
500 gms Pork Meat With Fat
50 gms Thai Red Pork Seasoning Mix.
150 ml Water
The pork seasoning mix is available from Asian supermarkets in packets or you can use Teriyaki seasoning mix which is very similar.
Preparation
1. Mix seasoning powder with water.
2. Marinade the pork in the red mix for 2-3 hours at minimum.
3. Roast in an oven at 200 degrees celsius for 20 minutes.
4. Serve the pork sliced thinly with the rice, and vegetables and covered with the cinnamon sauce (described below).
Serve With

Hi! I came to your site via Ed at IsitEDible.. I've never had Thai food. I'm not a big spice eater - but I'm slowly trying to incorporate more spice into my dishes. I've just taken a quick look at some of your site and I wanted to tell you that I think it's all fantastic! I've added you to my favorites and look forward to going through all your recipes. I very much enjoy your explanation of the dishes before sharing the recipe. Thank you for a lovely site! :)
