LOTS of chopping but very refreshing and unique! I sprinkled chopped peanuts on top. Grilled the pork on the grill....great recipe!
Thai Pork Salad with Chili Dressing
Randy Mayor; Jan Gautro
Thai roasted chili paste combines the kick of chili paste with a smoky flavor. It can be found in most Asian markets. If it is unavailable, chili paste with garlic or Sriracha is a good substitute.
