Thai Pork with Peanut Sauce

I love Thai food! I recently acquired a couple of new Thai cookbooks. This recipe comes from the book Real Thai available from Amazon.com. I have found a ton of great recipes in the book and I plan to feature a bunch of them in the coming months. Here is one that would make a very nice appetizer or adjunct to a noodle dish.
