Not unlike a That version of spaghetti sauce, this is
from the regional cuisine of north Thailand. Note:
Dried shrimp and shrimp paste give off a strong aroma
during cooking, but the flavor mellows.
Place pork in a food processor and using an on/off
motion, process until it is ground. Alternatively,
chop pork with a sharp knife. Set aside.
In a heavy, medium-sized saucepan, heat oil over
medium high heat. Add garlic and stir-fry for 1 to 2
minutes, or until browned. Add shallots, chilies,
dried shrimp or shrimp paste and lemon grass and
stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the pork and stir-fry for
about 1 minute, or until browned. Add tomatoes, stock
or water, fish sauce and sugar and increase the heat
to high. Cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes, or
until the mixture boils vigorously. Reduce heat to low
and simmer, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until
slightly thickened. Serve with sticky rice.
Serves 4 as a main dish or 6 in combination with other
