Method
Preparing the sauce
Step 1
For perfect results, it is advisable to use a mortar and no blender. Put the basil, coriander, chili and chopped lemongrass in the mortar. Keep pounding them until they turn into paste.

Add the lemon sauce, the tamarins sauce, the fish sauce and the red curry and keep pounding it. Add 1coffee cup’s worth of water. Pour the sauce in a bowl.
Preparing the meat
Step 1
Heat the soybean in a wok (use a deep fryer if you do not have one), until it smokes up. Add the peppers, carrot, onion, soy sprouts and pork bites and cook it over a high-heat stove, stirring constantly and quickly until the meat browns up.
Step 2
Empty the sauce you have prepared into the pan. Continue stirring until the sauce glazes over the bites of pork and peppers
Step 3
Server it in a deep platter and accompany it with jasmine rice, boiled simply, without a trace of salt
