Many people only equate pulled pork with traditional American BBQ or Mexican flavors. For this dish, prepare to bring the western world over to the eastern side of the globe! We pair some delicious and tender pulled pork with a crisp salad, topped with a Thai Style BBQ sauce that you’ll be sure to love.

This is a super simple recipe that’s packed full of deep and complex flavors. Each and every bite will give you a different flavor to pick out from – cilantro, red curry paste, and peanut butter will keep your taste buds guessing each and every time you put a forkful of food in your mouth. The crunchy crackling on top acts as a crouton to complement all of the Asian flavors. The cilantro and peanut butter create a smooth and fresh flavor that really goes well with the crispy pork skins.

I based this loosely on my Thai Peanut Chicken recipe, which was a huge hit and everyone seemed to want more of it. So, here you go! The sauce keeps well and could easily be kept in the fridge of freezer – along with the pork. So if you have leftovers and want to save them, these can last you far into the future with just one inexpensive pork roast.
