Thai cuisine features flavors that are hot and sour, salty and sweet. This one-dish pork satay balances all of them using ginger and red pepper flakes, rice vinegar, garlic, lime juice and creamy peanut butter. —Nicole Werner, Ann Arbor, Michigan

Very good. Will use a leaner cut and more vegetables next time.

Wow! This was one of the best things I have ever eaten in my life! I followed the directions closely, except at the end I added MUCH more peanut better than the recipe called for (peanut butter lovers at my house, lol.) I probably wound up using about a cup. At any rate, this was fantastic and if you don't like pork, I think you could substitute chicken and probably even shrimp. I highly recommend this recipe. Thanks so much for sharing it!

Thought the ingredients looked very tasty, but when it was ready to eat, turned out VERY oily! I understand that the instructions said to "Skim fat" before eating, but was just impossible to scoop it all out-ended up ingesting globs of oil w/every spoonful, but the STEW ITSELF was very tasty! Just watch out for that oil & fat!
