Thai Food Moo Ma-Nao [Boiled Pork With Lime, Garlic and Chilli Sauce]

I just can't resist this kind of dish, that is savoury, sourish, spicy and sweet.  Best of all, no frying at all.  Also like the idea of adding Chinese kale.  Was lucky to get it [not too big size] at the wet market today as I intend to prepare a smaller portion.  Also used the blanching the vegetable and meat as stock for my vegetable soup.

Should have prepared the full portion cos' it was awesome.

Ingredients

original recipe from Thai Food Recipe

300 gm pork tenderlion - thinly sliced

2 tbsp fish sauce
