Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1Dice the Purple Onion
    A purple onion cut in half resting on a wooden cutting board.

    Place the purple onion on the wooden cutting board and use a wide metal cleaver to dice it into small, even pieces.

    Tip: Cut the onion in half first to create a stable, flat surface on the board before dicing.
  2. 2Mince the Garlic
    Garlic cloves being finely minced with a knife on a wooden cutting board.

    Take the peeled garlic cloves and mince them finely on the wooden cutting board using a sharp knife.

    Tip: Mincing garlic finely helps release its aromatic oils quickly when sautéed later.
  3. 3Slice the Curry Blocks
    A block of curry being sliced into thin pieces on a wooden cutting board.

    Take a solid block of curry and slice it into thinner pieces on the cutting board to help it melt faster.

    Tip: Thinly slicing the curry blocks ensures they dissolve smoothly without forming clumps in the sauce.
  4. 4Brown the Minced Pork
    Minced pork being stir-fried in a black pan with a wooden spatula.

    Pour oil into a black frying pan, add the minced pork, and stir-fry using a wooden spatula until fully cooked and slightly browned.

    Tip: Break apart any large clumps of minced pork with the spatula so it browns evenly.
  5. 5Season Minced Pork
    Ground black pepper and sea salt being sprinkled onto cooked minced pork in a pan.

    Sprinkle ground black pepper and sea salt directly over the browned minced pork in the pan, stirring until fully cooked.

    Tip: Seasoning the meat directly builds a deeper layer of savory flavor.
  6. 6Remove the Minced Pork
    Cooked minced pork being scooped out of a frying pan with a spatula.

    Scoop the cooked minced pork out of the pan and set it aside for the next step of the recipe.

    Tip: Remove the pork promptly to avoid overcooking it while you prepare the aromatics.
  7. 7Sauté Aromatics
    Diced purple onions and minced garlic sizzling in hot oil in a skillet.

    Add the diced purple onions and minced garlic into the residual oil in the pan and sauté over medium heat until fragrant and translucent.

    Tip: Keep the heat moderate so the garlic does not burn and turn bitter.
  8. 8Add Curry Blocks
    Sliced curry blocks being added to the cooked onions and garlic in a pan.

    Place the sliced curry blocks directly into the pan with the sautéed onions and garlic. Stir them together until the curry blocks begin to soften and combine with the aromatics.

    Tip: Slice the curry blocks thinly beforehand to help them melt faster and more evenly.
  9. 9Build Milky Curry Base
    Milk being poured from a measuring cup into a pan of simmering onions and curry.

    Pour 250 milliliters of milk into the pan with the sautéed onions, garlic, and melted curry, stirring continuously to form a smooth base.

    Tip: Pour the milk in gradually while stirring to prevent any lumps from forming in the sauce.
  10. 10Add Sweet Paprika
    A spoonful of red sweet paprika powder being held over the creamy curry sauce.

    Add 2 spoonfuls of vibrant red sweet paprika powder into the creamy simmering sauce. Stir well to incorporate the spice and impart a rich color.

    Tip: Sweet paprika adds a wonderful warmth and color without making the dish overly spicy.
  11. 11Add Seasoning Sauce
    Dark liquid seasoning sauce being poured from a ladle into bubbling curry sauce.

    Pour 2 spoonfuls of dark liquid seasoning sauce from a ladle into the bubbling curry sauce. Mix everything evenly to balance the savory flavor profile.

    Tip: Adjust the amount of seasoning sauce according to your personal taste preference.
  12. 12Combine Minced Pork
    Cooked minced pork being poured from a white plate into a pan of rich orange curry sauce.

    Pour the previously cooked minced pork back into the rich, bubbling curry sauce. Stir thoroughly so the meat absorbs all the flavors of the creamy curry mixture.

    Tip: Simmer for another minute after combining to let the flavors meld together completely.
  13. 13Combine and Simmer
    A wooden spoon stirring cooked minced pork into a rich orange curry sauce in a frying pan.

    Pour the previously cooked minced pork back into the pan with the thick curry sauce, stirring continuously so every piece of meat is thoroughly coated and combined.

    Tip: Keep the heat on medium-low while stirring to let the flavors meld without burning the bottom of the pan.
  14. 14Serve Curry Minced Pork Over Rice
    A ladle scooping rich curry minced pork sauce over a bed of white rice in a serving pan.

    Scoop the rich and milky curry minced pork sauce using a ladle and pour it generously over a bed of freshly prepared white rice.

    Tip: Serve immediately while hot for the best combination of milky aroma and savory flavor.
