Ingredients:
- 1 lb pork shoulder, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 small kabocha squash, peeled and cut into cubes
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Cooked rice (for serving)
- Prep the Pork: Season the pork pieces with salt and pepper.
- Sear the Pork: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the pork from the pot and set aside.
- Cook the Aromatics: In the same pot, add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the Spices: Stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, and ground coriander. Cook for another minute until the spices are fragrant.
- Combine Ingredients: Return the browned pork to the pot. Add the kabocha squash cubes, coconut milk, chicken broth, fish sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Stir to combine.
- Simmer the Curry: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 25-30 minutes, or until the pork is tender and the squash is cooked through.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the curry and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or fish sauce if needed.
- Serve: Serve the curry hot over cooked rice, garnished with fresh cilantro.
