2. Raise the heat to high and add the rest of the coconut milk, water, palm sugar, lime leaves, and salt. Let boil for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium and cook until the pork is tender, about 10-15 minutes.
3. Add Thai eggplant and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Add sugar snap peas (or pea pods) and stir gently for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the Thai basil. Serve hot with jasmine rice.
