I'm really sorry, but we didn't care for the taste of this at all. It was easy to prepare, but the sauce was really soupy and thin and we did not care for the combination of tastes, although we do love PB. It sounded good, and I wish I could give it a higer rating....

I cut this recipe in half but otherwise followed it exactly. It was delicious and super easy. A nice change from typical Thai sates that worked great as an entree with rice. Thanks for sharing.

This was delicious! I, too, really enjoy dishes with peanut butter. Kel, may I share with you my Thai Beef #110743. It calls for crunchy P.B. and it's my fave dish. Although this pork will be served frequently on my table now, too!
