Pork is a favorite meat of mine, and I'm always trying to put new twists on it. Rather than just roast the pork then put it with potatoes and veggies, I decided to take an Asian slant, well, Thai, and use red curry, ginger, mushrooms, green onions and things that you usually see in these type dishes.
Another new twist to this recipe are my mushrooms and finding enoki mushrooms. These are just so beautiful and graceful looking. They almost look like snow white pea shoots. Their long stems and snow-white caps are joined at the base, and I simply gently separated them. They have a mild, almost fruit flavor and crisp texture. Regardless of which mushroom you choose to use, add it the the dish about 15 to 30 minutes before serving.
