Method
Slice the pork loin thinly across the grain.
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok and fry the jungle curry paste for 3 minutes until fragrant.
Add the pork and stir-fry for 4 minutes until sealed on all sides.
Pour in the chicken stock, bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 20 minutes, until the pork is cooked through and reads at least 63 degrees Celsius on a meat thermometer.
Add the bamboo shoots and pea aubergines and simmer for 5 minutes.
Stir in the fish sauce, makrut lime leaves and bird's eye chillies and simmer for 2 minutes.
Remove from the heat and stir through the Thai basil until wilted.
