Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we've revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Pull out 2 large frying pans & a measuring jug

Time to fry

  • Dice the onions into 2cm chunks. Thinly slice the peppers
  • Heat a large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the pork and cook for 3-4 mins, until the pork has browned. Add the onion and pepper and cook for a further 2-3 mins, until softened. Season with salt and pepper

Simmer the curry & cook the rice

  • Add the Thai red curry paste and cook for 1 min, then stir in the coconut milk and 50ml water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 7 mins, until the pork is cooked through
  • Add the sugar snap peas in the final 2-3 mins
  • Meanwhile, heat the other large frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the rice and break it up with a wooden spoon. Add a splash of water and cook for 2-3 mins, until piping hot. Season with salt

Last bits

  • Pick the basil leaves and roughly chop. Stir half the basil into the curry and season to taste

Plate up

  • Check your meat is cooked through; it should be golden brown, steaming hot, the juices should run clear when cut and there should be no pink / rare meat inside
  • Serve the pork red curry into bowls, with the rice alongside. Scatter over the remaining basil
