Thai-style Pork Stew

Submitted by Sudie

"This is from Cooking Light magazine, the December 2002 issue. So far, this is the #1 recipe I've tried in my new crockpot! It isn't really exotic, but it is a little different from most of the crockpot recipes I've seen, and it's just very tasty. Hope you like it!"

We loved this recipe! I added a bit more garlic and pepper -- but no lemongrass or basil. For its taste and ease of preparation, this recipe gets 5 stars. It's one that I'd make again.

This was wonderful! I doubled the sauce ingredients so I would have enough to put over my rice. It was so easy, with ingredients I always have on hand. I served it with jasmine rice along with chopped peanuts, chopped green onions and chopped cilantro. It's a simple recipe that I wouldn't hesitate serving to guests.

Easy and tasty, although we'd have liked a bit more heat (we added two dried tien tsin peppers instead of the red pepper flakes, but I think there weren't enough seeds, so it may have been my fault).

I had a pound of pork loin that I used with double the sauce ingredients, so that we could have sauce over rice. I didn't have Teriyaki sauce, but had some Mandarin sauce that I wanted to use up. It was really good without the peanut butter, so I didn't add that, but we did top it with peanuts. I started it about one and cooked until 5:00 or so on high heat in the crockpot.

This was a really easy recipe to prepare, yet it has a robust flavor. We loved it! I followed the recipe exactly and served over sticky rice with peanuts, lime wedges, and scallions. We will definitely make this again.
