Thai Curry Jerky Recipes

Steps:

• Soak dried chillies and galangal in warm salted water for 15 minutes. Allow to drain.
• Seed the chilli if desired (I left seeds in place) and then chop along with galangal.
• Place all ingredients except beef in a food processor and process until a rough paste.
• Cut meat into thin slices cutting with the grain running length-wise. It's easier to cut if partially frozen, and easier to hang on the rack as below if you leave the beef in relatively long strips (say 15cm / 6").
• Rub curry paste into beef, it is thick so do this by hand. Also flatten the meat with your hands at the same time.
• Put on a plate or shallow dish, cover with plastic wrap and leave overnight.
• Place foil on a lower rack in the oven to catch fat / marinade.
• Put a toothpick through each end on the beef and use it to hang the meat from the top rack without the meat touching the rack.
• Cook for 6-8 hours at 70°C (160°F) with the oven door ajar until dried to desired taste.
• The door only has to been open a little to let out steam so just pry open a little with a fork or similar.

Steps:

• 1. Combine all ingredients except pork and oil in a food processor. Process into a fine puree. Place the pork and puree in a bowl. Stir to cover all the meat with the marinade. Marinate overnight.
• 2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove the pork from the marinade. Blot off the excess marinade and lay the strips in single layer. Let sit in fridge overnight to dry out.
• 3. Bring oil to 350 degrees. Deep fry the pork in batches for about 4 to 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Great warm or cold.

Steps:

• To prepare the sauce, finely grate the ginger on a ginger grater or fine grater to extract the juice (you should have about 1 tablespoon). Place the ginger juice, peanuts, coconut meat, coconut water, almond butter, Braggs, garlic, turmeric, curry powder, and orange juice in a blender and blend until smooth. Add the Thai chile to taste.
• Place the cauliflower, carrot, cabbage, and cucumber in a bowl. Pour the sauce over the vegetables, garnish with the basil and bean sprouts, and serve.
