First, yum! I made this, but don't feel I can really fairly rate it on its own merits because I used Recipe #241327 to marinade the pork first, instead of coating it with the flour mixture in this recipe, and the marinade became part of the sauce and changed it quite a bit. I also omitted the peanuts (forgot them) and the cilantro (didn't have any). However, the result was wonderful--my husband actually requested I make it again. I used low fat coconut milk and corn starch to thicken the sauce. Thanks for posting! (I do intend to make this on its own when I have pork to use that hasn't been freezer burned.)
