This recipe is impossible to follow because the ingredients list doesn't distinguish what ingredients are for the paste (step one), and you can't deduce what they are because the rest of the steps are also non-specific about the ingredients (step 5 "add the rest of the ingredients"). Would have liked to have tried it because the ingredients sound yummy, but the recipe is badly written.

This recipe, at first, seems to be hazy when you read it the first time, but if you read again, step by step, it is not so hard to follow; it's not impossible! The paste ingredients are:peppercorns, kaffir leaves, fish sauce and brown sugar. Heat this paste and add the pork and the other ingredients, except the basil leaves. Finish up following step 6,7,8,and 9. Bon appetite!
