Notes
For extra flavor, try marinating the pork in soy sauce for about 30 minutes before cooking. If you prefer a thicker curry, mix a little cornstarch with water and stir it in just before serving. You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
