For a vegetarian option, substitute the pork with firm tofu. Press the tofu to remove excess water before adding it to the curry. Adjust the amount of green curry paste according to your spice preference. Start with 3 tablespoons and add more if needed. Fresh Thai basil is essential for the authentic flavor of this dish. If you can't find it, you can substitute it with regular basil, but the flavor will be slightly different. Serve with jasmine rice.
