Moo Satay (Pork Satay) with Peanut Sauce

Onto the second dish with the panang curry paste that I made the other day, "Moo Satay (Pork Satay) with Curried Peanut Sauce". This one also comes from "The Big Book of Thai Curries". This dish sounded pretty interesting; instead of being a more standard one dish curry, it used the panang curry in a dipping sauce for a pork satay. The peanut dipping sauce sounded really tasty with coconut milk, lime juice and peanuts in addition to the panang curry. I also added some peanut butter to give it a bit more peanut flavour. The pork is also marinated in in a really nice combination of spices and herbs. This dish turned out to be really good! The peanut sauce was amazing. The pork was juicy and flavourful. I will be making this again.

2 teaspoons cumin seeds (toasted and ground)
