This was pretty tasty, I used all of the optional, “less authentic” ingredients (dark soy, oyster sauce, green beans) and had no complaints. It definitely improved the color. Nice quick weeknight meal.
Most dishes in the book require seasoning at the end to taste, but this one was quite savory, maybe a little overly so. It may be because I used the optional sauces and tried a better fish sauce out (Red Boat).
Fyi it appears he missed the step to add the green beans; I ended up adding them late and they were definitely… crisp. But enjoyable, easy dish nonetheless.

Damn this looks good. Will have to look through the book and try it.

Looks good op. You might not be able to find it, but try get your hands on Thai basil. It has a much different flavour and really makes the dish unique.

Made this last night as well. I added the beans along with the pork and that worked out nicely. They cook quite fast at the same rate. Your Khai Dao and Prik Nam Pla look good too!
