fish sauce

🥗Healthier: soy sauce

💰Cheaper: salt + water

Soy sauce provides umami flavor while being lower in sodium.

ground pork

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground chicken

Ground turkey is leaner and healthier, while ground chicken is often cheaper.

peanuts

🥗Healthier: sunflower seeds

💰Cheaper: pumpkin seeds

Sunflower seeds offer a similar crunch with fewer allergens.

curry powder

🥗Healthier: homemade curry blend

💰Cheaper: turmeric + cumin

Homemade blends can reduce costs and customize flavors.

Spread the pork with half the curry paste.

Heat oil in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat.

Add the pork and cook for 4 mins each side or until browned and cooked through.

Transfer to a plate and cover with foil. Set aside for 5 mins to rest. Slice.

Meanwhile, whisk the remaining curry paste and coconut cream in a small bowl.

Arrange lettuce on a serving platter. Top with the capsicum, cucumber, pork, basil, coriander, onion and chilli, if using.

Drizzle with the dressing to serve.
