Thai Garlic Pork

Using the Mc Cormick Thai Garlic Pork mix made it so much easier to prepare this dish. To make it tastier though, I made some adjustments to the recipe and added some vegetables for Ed and my Dad.

I cooked it for a Saturday lunch with Ed and a chicken version the next day for my family. They loved the spicy kick and the coconut milk flavor! Instant hit with my siblings and my mom. My dad needed to adjust to the hot/ spiciness of the flavor though. :-) Ed, could not stop raving about it.
