Heaping

pork rib tips • ground pork • chicken feet, nails trimmed • tomatoes, chopped • heaping tablespoons Nam Ngiao curry paste • plus 1 teaspoon salt • pork-flavored seasoning powder • minced garlic (for frying) • Bean sprouts • Cilantro • Fried dried chilies • Khanom jeen noodles (fermented rice noodles) •

golden pomfret fish • coconut milk (about 355 ml) • heaping tablespoon Panang or red curry paste • palm sugar • fish sauce • kaffir lime leaves • Red chili for garnish • Oil for frying the fish

Whole black peppercorns (add more for extra heat) • About half a kaffir lime peel (adding more will make it bitter) • About 1 heaping tablespoon sliced galangal • lemongrass (using more gives the paste a tangy flavor) • Holy basil flowers (optional, but my family likes to add them) • salt • Sliced fingerroot • Thai garlic • Shallots • Dried chilies, soaked (for more heat, use dried bird's eye chilies; for milder flavor, mix with larger dried chilies) • shrimp paste (the kind I use is pinkish; if you use regular jarred shrimp paste, the paste will have a stronger smell and darker color, but it's fine to use if that's what you have. You can also wrap it in banana leaf and grill it first, if you like)
