coconut milk

🥗Healthier: light coconut milk

💰Cheaper: milk + coconut extract

Light coconut milk reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

pork shoulder

🥗Healthier: chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: pork loin

Chicken thighs provide a leaner option while still being flavorful.

fish sauce

🥗Healthier: soy sauce

💰Cheaper: salt

Soy sauce can provide a similar umami flavor for those avoiding fish.

brown sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: white sugar

Honey offers natural sweetness while white sugar is more economical.

Cut pork shoulder into large chunks and season with salt and black pepper.

Heat a large pot over medium heat and add oil until shimmering.

Sear the pork chunks until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove pork from the pot and set aside.

In the same pot, add chopped onion, garlic, ginger, and lemongrass; sauté until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Return the pork to the pot and add coconut milk, water, fish sauce, and brown sugar.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover; simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours until pork is tender.

Add chopped carrots, potatoes, and green beans; stir to combine.

Continue to simmer uncovered for another 30 minutes until vegetables are tender.

Adjust seasoning with lime juice and more salt if needed.

Serve hot, garnished with fresh coriander.
