Thai Red Curry Pork with Zucchini Noodles
One of my all time favorite comfort foods after a long hard day is a steaming bowl of spicy Thai curry. I love the creaminess from the coconut and complex spice of the curry sauce. Unfortunately my favorite curry dish likely packs in around 800 calories between the full fat coconut milk, oil, and fattier cuts of meat so I usually make my own at home. This version using zucchini noodles and lean pork tenderloin has quickly become my go-to and it's made even better by the fact that I can cook the whole dish in under 30 minutes. It also makes killer leftovers.
A few weeks ago with tofu which is also really delicious! It was so good in fact, I needed to try it out with pork.
