What ingredients are in a Prik King curry?
The dish typically features a rich red curry paste mixed with meat, most commonly pork, and sliced Thai green long beans. The lack of liquid allows the bold, spicy flavors to heavily concentrate on the ingredients.

What is the difference between Prik King and standard Thai curry?
While standard Thai curries like Panang or Green curry are wet and soup-like, Prik King is completely dry. The spices are stir-fried into the meat rather than being simmered in a liquid sauce.
