Pad Prig King translated literally means stir fried ginger chili. But, ginger is not an ingredient. Strange! The name has mislead unfamiliar cooks. My aunt (in her student days) wanting to make this dish, added ginger on top of other ingredients. She is not alone in this, I have heard similar stories from other Thai people starting out to cook.
2 Servings,
Prep Time: 15 Minutes, Total Time: 15 Minutes
- 1 tablespoon red curry paste
- 2 teaspoons fish sauce
- 1 1/2 cup green beans
- 1/2 cup shrimp
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Method
Over medium heat, add a tablespoon of oil in a wok or pan. Drop the curry paste in and stir to break it up. Add green beans and shrimp. Stir quickly. It should take a couple of minutes to cook. Add fish sauce and sugar and serve hot.
I like my green beans crispy so I remove the green beans and shrimp from heat as soon as the shrimp is cooked (turned from translucent to white).
