Combine curry paste and milk. Mix until thoroughly combined. Add pork and marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
In a pot, heat enough oil to coat bottom of pot, approximately 3 tablespoons. Remove meat from marinade and sear the meat until it is browned on all sides. Reserve the marinade.
Add marinating liquid and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 1 hour.
As soon as it is cool enough to handle, shred meat by hand or chop finely.
Add soy sauce and fish sauce. Stir to combine.
Steam bao buns, per package instructions. Add a little pork inside with some red cabbage for crunch and texture. A perfect mid afternoon snack or have a few at a time for a complete meal.
