Shemin’s Indian Curry Paste

Our multi-award winning paste will be your new secret when it comes to Indian cooking. 

Ingredients

  • 500g ground pork (you can also use other mince, see tips)
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 handful of fresh Thai basil leaves
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1.5 tbsp Shemin’s Thai Paste – Green or Red (or to taste)
  • 1 tsp sugar (optional)
  • Juice of half a lime

For serving:

  • 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 iceberg lettuce, leaves separated
  • 4 Shemin’s Chapatis
  • 1 cucumber, outside peeled into ribbons, inner core cut into chunks
  • 1 carrot, shredded
  • Mint leaves
  • Chopped chili (optional)

 

How to make Thai Laab

  1. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, stir in the ground pork, stir fry for 2-3 minutes or until it changes colour, remove from pan and set aside (leave the remaining oil in the pan).
  2. Sauté the garlic until fragrant, then stir in green and red pepper and onion, and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add the pork back into the pan and toss in the Thai basil leaves.
  4. Add the fish sauce, soy sauce, Thai Curry Paste and sugar, turn to medium-high heat and stir-fry for a minute. Then stir in the lime juice.
  5. Spoon 1/2 tablespoon of hoisin sauce, or as much as you like, across the chapati. Top with lettuce and spoon over the pork mixture. Top with cucumber, carrot, mint, and fresh chili slices to serve.

Tips

Tips:

  • Feel free to substitute ground pork with other types of ground meat such as chicken, turkey, beef for variety.
  • For a meatless version of this dish, substitute the ground pork with plant-based alternatives such as crumbled tofu or vegan mince.
  • Leftover pork mixture makes a tasty filling for sandwiches, wraps, or omelettes the next day. Simply reheat and enjoy!
  • Instead of chapatis, try serving the pork mixture in lettuce cups or soft tortillas for a lighter option.
  • Experiment with different garnishes such as crushed peanuts, sliced scallions, or a drizzle of sriracha sauce for added texture and flavour.
