Pad Prik King

1/2 lb pork loin, trimmed and sliced
4 T vegetable oil
1/2 lb Chinese long beans (or green beans, but those need to be cooked longer)
2-3 T fish sauce
1-2 T grated ginger
6-8 kaffir lime leaves, thinly sliced
handful of Thai basil, torn (optional)
4 oz can of prik king (khing) curry paste

Heat the oil in a wok and cook the curry paste thoroughly, until very fragrant and somewhat dried out.  Add the meat, followed a minute or two later by the long beans (you may want to start the beans first if using green beans).  When the meat is about done add the fish sauce, lime leaves, and basil, then taste.  Add sugar or fish sauce if necessary.
